  You will spend half of your time practicing skills and participating in realistic scenarios.

  About the trail: 

  George Washington Carver (1864 –1943), was an African-American scientist, naturalist and professor who served as chairman of the Agriculture Department of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. He was an early promoter of cover crops and organic fertilizers, and promoted crops, like peanuts and sweet potatoes, that could provide affordable nutrition and restore soil depleted by decades of cotton growing. Carver was also an avid naturalist who constantly observed and recorded the natural world around him. The trail, created in the 1990s as a project of the Anacostia Community Museum, honors Dr. Carver’s legacy of reverence for nature and humans’ reliance upon it.

  The CyberTracker Track & Sign Certification is an internationally applied, professional-level certification used to promote wildlife tracking. This two-day field experience is both a certification and a training, with an emphasis on open dialogue and real learning.

  The tracks and signs of any and all species encountered may be asked, whether big or small, clear or obscure, recent or old. After participants give their answers to to a set of questions, the evaluator facilitates a dialogue where participants can offer their perspectives. This is an opportunity for the group to internalize wildlife behavior, field marks, and natural history.

  Tracker Certifications emphasize practical tracking and the development of reliable field skills, and are unassociated with any particular philosophy or tracking school. No prior training is required to participate.
