We Unlock Wildlife Secrets By Allowing The Animals To Teach Us
Many TCNA and TCNA associated workshops, certifications, trainings, and evaluations consist of immersive, in-the-field training. Forget traditional classrooms; our learning environment is the outdoors, and our primary teachers are the animals themselves.
In every offering on these pages, expert instructors guide you to locate animal track and sign, prompting you to interpret what you see - then reveal alternative ways to “see” and understand these subtle clues.
Is Tracking Training For You?
Whether you're a dedicated member of a Search & Rescue team, a professional biologist, an inspiring educator, a passionate hunter, a curious naturalist, an avid outdoorsman, or simply an individual deeply intrigued by the natural world, you'll discover our training to be truly eye-opening. No prior experience or formal training is required to participate. In fact, we often find that the less you initially know, the more profound your learning journey becomes. The immense value of this training lies in the deep and transformative awareness all participants gain regarding animal sign and behavior.
