Course Equipment List



Journals:  For this course we will provide each participant with materials to create their own creative journal (to include writing and photography).  Throughout the course you will make entries through guided activities as well as independent writing and sketching.

Pencils:  Please bring at least two number 2 or HB hardness pencils.  Pencils work better than pens in some weather conditions, and you may want to use them for sketching. 

Camera:  Digital cameras will be provided to use during the course of the program.

Field guides:  Bring any you like that are appropriate for the area, but you do not need to buy them for the course.  Ellen will have an assortment of field guides available.

Binoculars and spotting scopes:  Bring them if you have them.  Spotting scopes will be provided for wolf watching.
