The Story Behind the Tracks |
 |
|
 |
In
the early 1970s, artist and naturalist Joan Winter, began collecting
the tracks of wild animals near her log home on the shores of
a small lake in B.C.'s Interior.
Surrounded by untouched forest,
marsh and hill country — home to an abundant population
of indigenous wildlife — she found, collected and preserved
the imprints of these animals in their natural habitat.

|
 |
What began as an interesting pastime, soon evolved into a thriving
cottage industry, now passed down as a full time business to
her daughter Katrine who lives just moments away from where the
animal track adventure first began.
The appearance of the product has changed a little over time,
but the tracks themselves are just as they were when first spotted
along a sandy riverbank or the moist edge of a reedy marsh almost
three decades ago. |
|
Joan's daughter, Katrine, concentrates on producing the most
sought-after animal prints, although all thirty-eight tracks in the collection
are available by special order.
