We are excited to announce that last year’s popular Wildlife Camera and Illustration Webinar is back! Join us on Thursday, February 17th from 6 to 8 pm for a workshop dedicated to capturing images of the wildlife around us.

At 6 pm, CR Wildlife Cam’s wildlife camera expert and Conservation Restriction Program Manager for The Trustees Sally Naser will share some of her wonderful images from cameras across the state. In addition, she’ll offer advice for the aspiring wildlife camera photographer, including what to look for in a camera, siting recommendations, and more.

At 7 pm, contemporary artist Elizabeth Whelan will lead an introductory lesson on wildlife illustration, using images taken by Naser’s cameras as models. Her focus will be on the skills needed to quickly capture the details of wildlife when viewed in their natural habitat.

Zoom-generated closed captioning will be available during the event.
