Track, trail, observe and connect with wildlife and landscape in ways that few can. Expert collaborative mentoring from Daniel Hansche & Annika Tara Hansche of Spur Wander, and our guides Kersey Lawrence & Lee Gutteridge, both Senior Trackers & Evaluators on the CyberTracker system. The team's constant engagement with the wild provides more tracking, behaviour and ecological awareness than one can imagine. Scores of mammals, birds and invertebrates will become familiar, and with depth.
Unable to track our own process, we flounder in identifying, interpreting, and following the signs of even the most familiar wildlife. Daniel will slowly offer and integrate practices & principles with which to build, foster, and hone your own unique process, approach, and relationship to wildlife tracking. Tracking is ever a collaborative way of being and the weekend will be formed by all people present, and most certainly, by the natural world within which we are interacting.
Application process is open to all, and is decidedly not merit-based.
Runs Saturday & Sunday 8:30am - 4:30pm
Fee: $350
We’ll be out for a day of wildlife tracking, familiarising ourselves with the animals of the landscape through connective approaches and practices, valuing the process of connection over the product of identification & interpretation. Every day in the field is a day in collaboration with the group, and most certainly, with the natural world. There is not a set curriculum -we follow the animal tracks, signs, and trails, for clues, direction, and insights. Daniel is a highly skilled & certified wildlife tracker, and loves to help people find their way in the world of tracking. Information and knowledge are absolutely and ever available here, yet creativity and familiarity are priorities of paramount importance.
Runs from 9am - 3pm

Kersey Lawrence of CyberTracker International visits as guest instructor, offering a highly sought after trailing evaluation.
Follow tracks through landscapes with the purpose of finding and observing the animal(s) that made them—while remaining undetected. Trailing builds knowledge of wildlife and local landscapes, confidence to follow trail in difficult conditions, heightened awareness and stealth, and an ability to move quietly through field and forest in small groups.
The purpose of the CyberTracker Trailing Evaluation assesses the tracker’s ability to follow an individual animal’s (or group of animals) spoor across the landscape, and to evaluate the tracker’s ability to interpret the behavior of the animal(s) on the trail and to locate that specific animal or group. Locating the animal involves finding, approaching to within a reasonable distance, observing and exiting the area without alerting the animal to the tracker’s presence. Species followed will include wild boar, roe deer, or fallow deer.
Cost: 295 Euro
