What’s going on out on the land?
Tracking at Puslinch Tract Conservation Area
I have been spending the start of my time off climbing, going to yoga and plotting tracking trips to new areas within an hour’s drive of Guelph. I am on the search for different landscapes to explore and potentially encounter new environments I don’t normally get to within or on the periphery of the city. For the past couple of days I have been exploring Puslinch Lake Conservation Tract, and it’s an interesting spot.
Follow The Food
Knowing the plants who are in relationship with the animals we track can help us find the animals we want to learn about. They can point in the direction of where the animals are going or where they will be going. They can show us if we are in the right environment or if we need to keep looking.
This entry is pretty much a story of a recent afternoon spent tracking in the Lake of Bays region, just South West of Algonquin Park, where we spent a few hours following the food and then finding the animal.
What do Groundhogs eat?
Another one from my question book, but to be honest, I think this has passed through many question books, and I don’t know why I keep forgetting. It’s about time I wrote out what I’ve learned and that way folks can remind me.
