Mr. Schanker, Biology Instructor clowning around. These pictures show off a black bear taken by Brian Belcastro in November of 1994 near Black Butte. The male bear, or boar, weighed 508 pounds, stood 8-9 feet tall, and was approximately 3-4 years old. The taxidermy is by Leonard Slabaugh.

Speaking of bears, The Bear Trail is a 1.7 mile loop circling the Weed campus. It is used by students and staff alike for recreation, and demonstrates many native plant and animal species.

Flora of the Bear Trail was created by Ken and Leona Beatty.
