Before
taking part in the surveys on Mt Hood, participants
must attend a two-part training. The training ensures
that everyone has a solid background in animal tracking,
knows what to expect during the surveys, and knows how
to dress for the snow.
The training consists of one classroom session and one
field session. If you are new to tracking, it will be
very helpful to attend the classroom session before
the field session. Trainings are designed for adults
and children over 12 years old. Younger children may
attend at the parent's discretion and under the parent's
supervision.
