Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
At this program we expect that children and their guardians will learn more about Minnesota's wildlife and how to recognize their tracks when they are out discovering nature.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The children who attended this event really enjoyed learning the track shapes and making their own animal track book as well as playing the games that the presenters brought about the different kinds of animals in Minnesota. The presenters brought casts made out of molds of actual bear, turkey, and wolf tracks and the children also really liked being able to touch those and see how they looked.
