Join us in solving a murder mystery through animal tracks. Animals tell us tales using the tracks they leave behind. Learn animal tracks and behaviors to identify the suspects. Then go on a "trek for tracks" to identify the tracks of Virginia animals and solve the mystery. After which, use what you've learned to tell your own story through animal tracks! This program is held at our outdoor classroom, which can be accessed by the car top boat launch parking area.
