Classroom at Crater Lake Through the Classroom at Crater Lake program, Ona’s students get a special outdoor learning experience, bringing them face-to-face with fallen log ecosystems, Central Oregon geology, species unique to high alpine forests, and autumn weather. Photographer Bill Wallauer Oregonian Bill Wallauer grew up hunting and enjoying the outdoors in Joseph and Grants Pass. But when he joined the Peace Corps in 1989 and befriended renowned primatologist Jane Goodall, his life changed forever. 20 years later, Bill himself has become an internationally known wildlife photographer and behavioralist. We go along with Bill to a closed and protected natural research laboratory at Mt St Helens to photograph some of the Northwest’s most camera-shy inhabitants, elk. Wolf Haven International For many people the opportunity to learn more about one of nature’s most efficient predators, the wolf, only comes from TV, books and the Internet. A wolf sanctuary near Tenino, Washington, Wolf Haven International is one of the few places where people are guaranteed to see and sometimes hear this elusive creature up close. Although Wolf Haven’s primary mission is to rescue captive born wolves and give them a comfortable place to live, they also provide a unique educational experience for thousands of students and visitors each year.
