Animal Tracks
Most of the wildlife in Georgias forests rarely allow us to catch a glimpse of them, but they often leave evidence of their presenceincluding their tracks (impressions in the ground left by their footprints). The best time to look for tracks is in the morning before anything has disturbed them.

How to make a Wildlife Footprint Bed:
1. Spread out sand or fine dirt smoothly over a level area where wildlife might come. 2. Carefully toss birdseed, corn, nuts, and crumbs into the sand or fine dirt. 3. Come back the next day to check for wildlife footprints!
