Raccoon Tracks In The Garden



Wildlife is still very active in our "Wildlife Friendly Garden". Yesterday I was fortunate to find a very clear raccoon track in the garden. I had seen a large male raccoon the previous morning wondering near to the school. It could very well be the same one. He must have had an altercation with the resident skunk as The Chilton House building was imbued with a lingering, malodorous scent. Also seen on the grounds were deer tracks, branches stripped of their bark by deer, and woodpecker marks on an Oak tree. ~Gary Lyon, Director of Environmental Education (Photo: Gary Lyon)
