"Sharp Observation Skills Like a Lynx"

Let's Get Down and Lynx-y!

imperial_lynx: Here's some spicy intel for animal enthusiasts: The stag-gang at Grundschule Am Mirker Bach will be on a wild adventure with educator extraordinaire, Jörn Ziegler, and the gurus from the local zoo!

They'll be diving deep into lynx-land, learning to trace these elusive cats using sneaky camera traps and high-tech tracking gear. They've even got a stealthy competition and footprint-casting contest on the docket – not your average school day activities, right?

This furry funfest is all centered around the lynx, who once roamed the NRW forests. If you ain't in school, no worries! Adults, too, can catch a lesson on the possible return of ole' Spots McLynx, the resident European big cat, who used to dominate our neck of the woods, but vanished like a cheetah in the night.

Now, here's the catch: I've hunted down the deets on this workshop, but I haven't found 'em without my tracks-n-trailers hat on. It looks like it's a special one-time shindig or maybe they keep their cards close to their chest.

Here's what ya can do:

Scour the Grundschule Am Mirker Bach website or latest newsletters for event announcements.
Drop the school an email or give 'em a ring for a lowdown on upcoming workshops with Jörn or the zoo team.
Check out your local zoo (maybe the Wuppertal Zoo?) for educational outreach events.
If you've got more info on Jörn's other gig (like a nature group, zoo, or ed organization), drop him a line direct!

If you've got a flyer, email, or announcement, share more deets! My data-hound sensors are always on the prowl for more clues!

Embrace the opportunity to learn about outdoor-living and home-and-garden practices by joining a workshop focused on the lifestyle of the imperial lynx, a fascinating predator once roaming the forests of NRW. Adults and children can both participate in this unique event, hosted by educator Jörn Ziegler and the local zoo, for an exciting journey into lynx-land via sneaky camera traps and high-tech tracking gear.
