Berkshire Wildlife Tracking
Wildlife Habitat Monitoring Program
There are many groups and individauls throughout the northeast, and indeed around the world, that have been through Keeping Track® or other wildlife tracking training programs.
Currently, we are working with a group in Quebec, Canada organized by the Ruiter Valley Land Trust (RVLT).
We are inspired by the vision of the
Appalachian Corridor Appalachien (ACA), a partner with RVLT who seeks to implement a transborder (Quebec/Vermont) conservation strategy. As well as Two Countries, One Forest (2C1F)
Other Massachusetts tracking groups with websites include:
Assabet Trackers
Cape Ann Trakcres
Nashaway Trackers
Walden Keeping Track
