New book just released!
My new book, Walk with the Animal, which covers methods for trailing animals even in challenging situations, has been released and is available on the products page. It covers practical and intuitive techniques illustrated by 30 case stories. Some comments from veteran trackers:
"This is a great piece of work and it will be a pleasure to show it to other trackers and students."
"Just received James Lowery's new book "Walk with the Animal: A Tracking Methodology" on trailing animals. Really great!"
"Walk with the Animal is a long overdue book on tracking. It delves into very advanced techniques and ideas. This is a must read and own book."

News about The Tracker's Field Guide!
The Tracker's Field Guide is temporarily out of stock on this website as a 2nd edition is currently in production, to be released by Globe-Pequot Press in September 2013. The new edition will have color photographs. You can pre-order a copy on the products page.
Special Trainings :
In 2012 we conducted numerous special trainings in tracking and plant uses. Now, while we have open dates, is the time to contact us about 2013 programs for your group. We can also schedule a PowerPoint presentation for your group about tracking & awareness, at no charge.
Field Biology Consulting:
Last fall we conducted a special weekend workshop for biologists in the San Francisco Bay Area, in distinguishing tracks of kit fox, gray fox, red fox and coyote. Please contact us if your field biology consulting firm or group would like help in survey work or training that involves tracking.
We hope to see you in a class.
