Winter Wildlife Walk at The Discovery Center
Details
Join the Philly Tracking Club for a special indoor-and-outdoor winter meetup at The Discovery Center! We're a new, volunteer-led group offering free co-learning experiences in wildlife track & sign—open to anyone curious about nature.
We'll start with a short 30-minute indoor session to introduce basic tracking concepts, build shared vocabulary, and connect as a group. Afterward, we’ll head outside for a relaxed walk on the trail to look for wildlife tracks and signs around the reservoir.
- This event is FREE, and all levels are welcome. Sign-up is not required.
Time: Saturday, January 24
Indoor session: 1:00–1:30 PM
Outdoor walk: 1:30–2:30 PM
Indoor Q&A + leisurely wrap-up: 2:30–3:00 PM
What to Bring:
- Dress warmly and according to the weather
- A notebook and pen for observations
- Any tracking guide (recommended but not required)
- Water and any personal essentials
Parking & Transit:
* There is plenty of parking—still, carpool if possible.
* Several bus routes stop within 4–12 minutes’ walking distance (Routes 32, 3, 48, 7).
* Nearby Indego bike stations are within a 5–17 minute walk.
* Bikes can be locked at racks near the entrance path.
Accessibility: The paved walkway to the entrance is ADA accessible, as are all buildings and restrooms.
