Nearly 50 people attended an early September Floating Classroom aboard the Hiawatha Paddleboat in Williamsport.

The next Floating Classroom is scheduled for Sept. 29 about voice for the vulnerable regarding endangered, threatened or otherwise more vulnerable species in our watershed.

The program included an overview on Animal Tracking tips by Riverkeeper John Zaktansky, that focused on what can be learned from animal tracks, where to best find them and nuances between tracks that can help you determine what left them behind.

Meanwhile, on the lower level, Camp Susque educator Stephanie Knauss reviewed animal tracks and led a hands-on plaster casting craft with participants that they were able to take home afterward.
