Glacier's Grizzlies: An In-Depth Look
8:00 AM  Glacier Institute
Description:
Instructor: Chuck Jonkel, Ph.D.
August 22-24, Friday-Sunday
Meeting Place: Field Camp at Glacier National Park
The Crown of the Continent ecosystem supports about half of the 800 to 1000 grizzlies estimated to be left in the lower forty-eight states. The rugged backcountry of Glacier National Park forms one of the only large tracts of secure grizzly habitat. This intensive three day course will allow time for outings during the twilight hours to search for bears during their most active times. This class will have a lot of time devoted to the biology of grizzlies and the complex relationship between humans and bears. We will view an extensive array of bear habitat from fire regenerated forest to prairies and open slopes in locations throughout the park.
