Discover the hidden world of Pennsylvania’s most elusive mammals and take part in real conservation science. Join Wildlands Conservancy at Maple Tract Preserve as we assist with a multi-year effort to study weasels and other rarely seen small mammals using remote wildlife cameras.

During this hands-on field program, participants will help set up wildlife camera traps, learn how researchers monitor secretive species, and explore why small mammal conservation matters to healthy ecosystems. Along the way, we’ll hike through forests, wetlands, and rocky terrain while searching for signs of wildlife and discussing habitat needs and animal behavior.

Participants should be prepared to hike 1–3 miles over moderate, uneven terrain that may include rocks, roots, mud, and wet areas.

• Sturdy footwear is recommended.
• Help deploy wildlife camera traps
• Learn about active weasel research and conservation
• Explore diverse habitats at Maple Tract Preserve
• Contribute to real community science efforts

Perfect for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and aspiring citizen scientists alike.
