Earth Day Every Day! - Trails and Tracks

Sam Kieschnick returns to send us out into the wilds of Texas! The trails might be either near our homes or a short drive away and this is a terrific time of year to get outdoors and explore the beautiful and unique regions of our state. There are so many signs of nature all around us and that wild space right outside the front door sometimes holds interesting secrets, too. We will learn about tracks and trail signs to watch and how to identify the different types of wildlife each track represents.

Sam Kieschnick is an urban wildlife biologist with Texas Parks & Wildlife serving the east side of the DFW metroplex. He previously worked as a nature educator with the City of Mansfield at Oliver Nature Park, as a naturalist at the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge, as a science interpreter with the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, as a botanist with BRIT, and as an instructor at Weatherford College. He has a master’s degree from Tarleton State University studying the genetics of pocket gophers. As an urban wildlife biologist, Sam’s focus will be on three a’s: awareness, appreciation, and action.
