Rounding out the workshop marathon will be Dan Lynch, the Southeast Region Wildlife Education specialist. He will be presenting his WILD About Raptors Educator Workshop, exploring the world of Pennsylvania’s diurnal raptors. Resources will include Wildlife Notes for each species and a review of additional materials used and/or available from the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Activities for the day will address topics, including adaptation, natural history, and current status of species. A significant portion of the day will be a field experience designed to further develop raptor watching and identification. Red-tailed Hawk on the prowl As amazing as all of these workshops are, I’m especially excited to share that the Classroom will be getting even wilder with the soon-to-be new addition of my family! That’s right, the Kester household will finally be hearing the pitter patter of tiny feet coming in January as we expect our first child. So, be sure to visit the Classroom before the New Year to say hi and share any parenting tips you may wish to pass along. As always, we look forward to seeing you on the trails or at one of the Classroom’s programs. Come make your own tracks in the park with any of the family-friendly events that are planned for this season. More information and registration can Whose tracks be found online at TheOutdoorClassroomPA.org. n are these?
