SCAT AND TRACKS: WHAT ANIMALS LEAVE BEHIND

Monday – November 27, 2017

SCAT AND TRACKS: WHAT ANIMALS LEAVE BEHIND

Location: First United Methodist Church
505 W. Marvin Ave., Waxahachie, TX
Family Life Center - Gathering Room

Indian Trail Chapter, Texas Master Naturalist
· 6:00 PM - Business Meeting
· 7:00 PM - Program by Kayleigh Medeiros - Education Manager Trinity River Audubon Center

The evidence animals leave behind, like tracks and scat, are clues to where they’re going, how they move, and what they eat! Kayleigh Medeiros will discuss the basic principles of tracking and how to determine who left those prints behind. Ms. Medeiros will then focus on what else was left behind – scat, the shape and composition of which help in determining the “owner”!
Born and raised in Massachusetts, Kayleigh Medeiros graduated from UMASS Amherst in 2011 with a B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Conservation and moved to Texas 5 years ago for an educational internship at Shangri La Gardens and Nature Center in Orange, TX followed by a related assignment with Houston ISD. In 2015, Kayleigh joined Trinity River Audubon Center where she manages 3 programs: the Eco Investigations program, the Conservation TREKs program, and Audubon’s Conservation Leaders Program for Young Women. In her spare time, she likes to work out, hang with her dogs, kayak, camp and hike with her fiancé, and bird watch.

Indian Trail Chapter is part of the statewide Texas Master Naturalist Volunteer Program of the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.

The Mission: To develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities for the State of Texas.

This program is part of a series of “no cost” “open to the public” Master Naturalist programs offered the fourth Monday (generally) of each month, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. Please bring a friend!
