Please note:  We have updated the pricing structure for our Wildlife Tracking Workshops in order to better reflect the true cost of offering the program and to ensure its long-term sustainability.

New pricing:
• Adult: $100
• Student / Wildlife or Environmental-Field Professional: $50
• Youth: $15 (must be accompanied by an adult)

Our previous pricing structure ($40 adult / $15 youth) was intentionally kept low to make the program widely accessible. However, these rates no longer adequately cover the expenses involved in providing high-quality instruction and maintaining the standards of the program.

This updated pricing is much closer to current industry standards for professional tracking education and certification-based instruction. We remain committed to keeping the workshops as financially accessible as possible while also honoring the skill, experience, and professional qualifications of certified trackers.

Phil is a senior tracker with CyberTracker and a qualified Track & Sign Evaluator. Phil is one of 14 Senior Trackers and Track and Sign Evaluators in North America.  As part of an internationally recognized certification system, we believe it is important not to undervalue or undercut the expertise and standards established by certified tracking professionals worldwide.

These changes help ensure that we can continue offering high-quality wildlife tracking education in a way that is both accessible and sustainable for years to come.
