About Us
Shadowhawk specialises in training people to track.
There can be few pleasures greater than that of
being able to track an animal in its natural
environment, to understand its movements, its motivations and the effect it has within its surroundings.
Shadowhawk trains trackers in the UK and all
around the world. The school was founded by Ian“Max” Maxwell the author of Animal Tracks ID and
the presenter of Discovery Channel’s Big Cat
Tracks and Max’s Big Tracks.
He is responsible for training Government
Organisations, Rangers and Police forces
worldwide.
Ian "Max" Maxwell
has both trained and tracked with some of the worlds "first nation trackers” including African, Native American and South American people. You will not be able to pass through nature without feeling connected ever again. Max has heard people say that you should “respect the woods because you are only visiting” he disagrees and says you are never a guest in your own home; you should feel at home in the woods.
Max is a Fellow of The Royal Geographical Society and has been awarded the Winston Churchill Fellowship - for life; for his work in conservation.

Nick sees tracking not just as a hobby but as a way of life! |
