Animal Tracks at Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary and Visitor's Center

What animals are lurking in your backyard? The Animal Tracks program at Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary may be able to help you find out. You'll also learn how our ancestors and modern day hunters use tracking techniques for survival and recreational purposes. This program is geared toward children and adults. Bring warm clothes and hiking shoes. We will be outside and hiking.

NOTE: The bridge on Fenno Rd. is closed, and there is a detour to Merkle. Instead of taking a left onto St. Thomas Church road, continue on Croom road. Turn left on Nottingham Rd. and another left onto Fenno Rd. Follow the road to the barricades (ignore bright orange signs) and turn right into Merkle. There are also brown signs that will direct you to Merkle.
