Learn to read the lanscape and follow the signs of human passage.

​

Mantracking is the art and science of detecting, interpreting and following the subtle signs left behind by human movement.

It is a skill that combines observation, environmental awareness, an understanding of human behaviour and the ability to interpret the stories written into the landscape.

​

Our practical, field-based mantracking course introduces participants to both the principles and application of human tracking. Through hands-on exercises and realistic tracking scenarios, you'll develop the skills to recognise, interpret and follow human sign across a variety of environments.

​

Whether you're completely new to tracking or looking to develop your existing skills, this course offers an opportunity to learn from experienced instructors and discover just how much information the landscape can reveal.

​

​

* Observation skills - Developing awareness and learning to notice subtle changes in the environment.
