WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Daniel Hansche, the founder of Spur Wander and an evaluator with Tracker Certification North America, will speak at the October Berkshire Green Drinks event on Wednesday, Oct. 9. 

 

This free hybrid event will take place online via Zoom and in person at The Barn of the Williams Inn, 101 Spring Street, Pittsfield. The in-person social gathering will begin around 5:30 PM; the presentation and Zoom meeting will start at 6:00 PM. 

 

According to a press release:

 

Wildlife tracking has contributed significantly to our awareness of the species cohabitating in the Berkshires alongside our human population. Especially valuable to the conservation and management of the more nocturnal and crepuscular mammals, tracking allows us to identify or verify those species present on the landscape when they would otherwise be imperceptible. Behaviors and habits that would be virtually impossible to see become part of our everyday awareness. What information can we glean from our backyards or favorite conservation property that would otherwise remain out of sight and out of mind?
