This class will build knowledge of our local wildlife, as well as skills needed for seeing more of their lives - both in personal encounters and in observation of the sign and tracks they leave us. These skills of awareness are useful in a variety of nature-based hobbies, from photography to hunting, and/or simply for connecting and learning more about our local wilderness through observation.
We will spend the day outdoors, covering uneven and potentially challenging terrain. Please contact us at registrar@driftlessfolkschool.org if you are interested in participating but have concerns about this level of mobility.
Date: Saturday, October 24, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM
Lunch will be provided.
Ages: 12+ (ages 12-17 with a participating adult)

Sliding Scale Course Fee Guidelines
Supporter Level Ticket: $130
If you move through the world with financial ease and the means to fulfill many of your wants as well as your needs – you are able to eat out when you want, abundantly meet your needs through employment or can comfortably not work, have access to family wealth, own property, etc. – consider paying at this level, which will help us ensure the long term sustainability of our programs while keeping our offerings accessible to those with access to fewer resources.
Sustainer Level Ticket: $105
If you are able to meet your needs with relative ease while budgeting your educational and entertainment spending – for instance, you are able to take classes and eat out occasionally as long as you are mindful – consider paying at this level, which will help sustain the work of the Folk School at a modest level.
Supported Level Ticket: $80
If you struggle to fund your basic needs and have limited access to resources in your family and community, or if you would not be able to access this offering without a discounted payment option, consider paying at this level. We value your presence and contributions to our community and do not want any economic circumstances to be a barrier to attendance!
Please dress in neutral, earthy tones. Wear fabrics that don't make a lot of noise (no nylon) and that fit well and break up your outline. Any shoes should be ok but try to wear thinner soled shoes that allow some feeling of the ground underfoot as you walk.
Bring a small backpack that can carry some water, any shed layers, and whatever else you will need while out for the day.
