Take your class on a tracks-and-traces wildlife scavenger hunt! This Animal Tracks & Traces Guide provides a beautiful simplified field reference to the tracks, signs, and scat of over 65 familiar North American species. It also features a ruler and is laminated to provide weather resistance.

When you can't find tracks and signs outdoors, this interactive sheet brings wildlife stories to life wherever you are!

This sheet includes tracks of animals prevalent across different parts of North America.

This eco-friendly wrinkle-free fabric polyester ground sheet is made of 100% machine-washable polyester. This is durable and fade-resistant and 100% hypoallergenic. The printing process is also eco-solvent. Most ink solvents are harsh and use powerful chemicals which can leave harmful traces. Eco-solvent printing processes use all-natural, biodegradable solvents. This also has WR and UV qualities, ensuring that this remains intact despite exposure to the elements. 

Eight information cards to help learners grow their understanding of these amazing animals!
