A skilled observer can look at animal tracks, whether in mud, snow or frozen into the surface of a pond, and read the story hidden there. What animal was it? How long ago was it here? Where was it going? What was it doing? Was it young or old, male or female, healthy or sick? Many things can be discerned by learning to read these signs left behind by wildlife. In that same vein, we hope to leave a trail of knowledge and information for you to follow through the year in the pages of the Natural Enquirer. Our goal is to provide you with insightful and enlightening interpretation of local nature as well as local history, helping you to feel more closely connected with our local landscape and what makes it special. Just like footprints frozen into a pond, though, the short articles here can only offer teasers, brief glimpses into the rich stories to be found at places like Spring Valley. We hope that you’ll use the Natural Enquirer as an invitation to get outside and discover mysteries of your own that need discerning.
