(MONROE LAKE) - Monroe Lake will host “Reading the Trail,” a tracking workshop at Paynetown State Recreation Area on Thursday, July 9.
The workshop starts at 10 a.m. and runs until noon. It is limited to 10 people, ages 14 and older. Registration is required by July 7 at bit.ly/readingtrail2015. There is a $5-per-person workshop fee.
Monroe Lake interpretive naturalist Scott Klein will lead the workshop. It will cover basic track identification, track-way interpretation and more. The first portion will be inside, than participants will go outside to look for tracks and practice their new skills.
"The tracks and signs that animals leave provide tons of info about which animals have been there and what they were doing - even when you never see the animals themselves," Klein said.
Paynetown SRA (stateparks.IN.gov/2954.htm) is at 4850 South State Road 446, Bloomington, 47401. The property entrance fee will be waived for registered workshop participants.
