About this event

  • 1 hour

This program is led by internationally known Bill Leikam – aka the Fox Guy, president and co-founder of the Urban Wildlife Research Project. Here is what Bill says about his program: "Do you sometimes see paw prints in mud or scat (poop) on the trails and assume that a dog left it? It could be from something else, but if a fox left it, that scat is sending a message. Come along with me and I will show you how to distinguish and identify the markings of a gray fox and often the meaning behind it all. I’ll tell you true stories about foxes that I’ve encountered in my study on their behavior. Gain some insights into the fox’s nature. They are far more than what popular culture tells us. By the time we are through, you will have a set of “tools” you can use to identify the presence of foxes and the meaning behind their nature. Bring a hat and good walking shoes."

Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
