Program Link : https://www.4eee.org/programs/tess-s225Starting this fall, join us for a Teen Series of 5 themed weekends held in beautiful locations from West Virginia to New Jersey. Each gathering dives deep into essential Earth skills and ancient know-how that will empower teens to learn more about the world around them and themselves.
Session 2: Track & Sign - November 21-23, 2025 - Location to be confirmed
Join guest instructor Nancye Good, co-founder of Earth Living Skills, Level 3 Cyber Tracker certification, and 4EEE instructors for a deep dive into the language of the wild. You’ll learn to read animal tracks, interpret subtle signs, and piece together the hidden stories written on the land. Discover how to follow a trail with awareness, connect to wildlife without disturbing it, and see the forest through the eyes of a tracker.
All Sessions open to Teens ages 13-17
