<DIV><STRONG>Natural History and Interpretive Photo Workshops </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The following programs are currently open for enrollment. Workshops
and tours are led and organized by a nationally recognized naturalist and nature
photographer and are sponsored by non-profit conservation and environmental
research organizations. Please consider offering these affordable
educational natural history experiences to students, faculty, staff and anyone
interested in seeing and learning about the natural wonders of Earth.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Workshops are principally field oriented and focus on the natural history,
ecology, conservation, ethnobotany, archeology, geology, and culture of the
region. Naturalist guides are local experts. Proceeds support
conservation and environmental education projects.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Interpretive Photo Workshops allow aspiring nature photographers to
accompany a professional photographer with credits that include the cover of
Natural History to photograph nature in some of the most splendid natural areas
on Earth. Participants' photo work is critiqued before and after the
workshop and participants continue corresponding with the tour leader to help
them apply their photography in interpretive forums such as slide shows, local
and regional publications.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Undergraduate credits are available through Johnson State College for
attending and further study in related areas (environmental science, biology,
photography).</DIV>
