Bear Spray is necessary in the event that a furry friend gets too close for comfort. $50 will buy students a large canister of spray - let’s just hope that nobody gets accidentally sprayed -this- year!

Fly fishing was one of Harry’s favorite pastimes and a skill that he happily taught to those wishing to learn it. A gift of $150 will fund student equipment such as fly fishing rods.

More than 200 species of animals, including bears, bald eagles, bison, wolves, elk, and nearly 60 other species of mammals, make their homes in Yellowstone National Park. These are complemented by more than 300 species of birds, sixteen species of fish, six species of reptiles, and four species of amphibians.

303 students representing the full spectrum of majors have participated in the Yellowstone Field Course

There are two species of bear that live in in Yellowstone National Park: the black bear, and the grizzly or brown bear. Weighing in from 325 to 600 pounds (and occasionally more!), the grizzly is significantly larger than its counterpart

“Harry would stop us periodically to talk about animal tracks, scat identification, population ecology. At one point he reached down and picked up what he had identified as elk droppings and popped one in his mouth to audible gasps from the group. Turns out he had dropped some milk duds on the ground first… The idea that he had a sense of humor was shocking. I got to know him more closely over the years as part of the family, but even to this day feel that there's a lot more going on inside than he ever lets show." Rick Dunn - former student and Dr. Corwin’s son-in-law
