  • Sep 14 Wildlife Identification Workshop Ever wondered what wildlife species live around your property—or what animal left those tracks, bones, or other signs behind? Join us for a hands-on wildlife identification class designed to help participants recognize common Georgia wildlife and better understand the animals they encounter. Participants will get up close with real wildlife skulls, skins, and other specimens while learning how physical characteristics such as teeth, skull shape, fur, and body structure can help identify different species. The class will also cover common wildlife signs and clues that can help you determine what animals are using your property. Whether you're a landowner, outdoor enthusiast, hunter, gardener, or simply curious about Georgia wildlife, this interactive class will give you practical skills for identifying the wildlife around you.
