Wildlife Tracking Southwest

Born in rural New Mexico, Casey spent his youth roaming the desert hills east of Albuquerque.  His excursions gave him a fervent love for wildplaces and a strong desire to introduce, enhance and share wilderness experience with others.  In the last decade, Casey has refined his work in the natural world into a profession.  For four years he taught wilderness living, naturalist skills, birding and wildlife tracking at Wilderness Awareness School in Duvall, WA.  He has also taught and learned wildlife tracking around the nation, leading expeditions and contributing to wildlife research. 

After eight years of intensive study, field time and teaching, Casey earned his certification as a Track and Sign Specialist in the CyberTrackerConservation system, the standard evaluation program used to assess wildlife trackers in South Africa, and now in growing use in North America.  He is one of only six people in the United States to have earned this accreditation, and is also an Assistant Evaluator.  He currently resides in Sandia Park, where he continues his research and teaching.

Wildlife Tracking Southwest serves to introduce people to the practice of tracking to enhance human/wilderness interaction, cultivate aprreciation of wildlands and animals, and contribute to conservation by deepening our understanding of all things wild.
