  • A guided  tour through the wolf den, home to the current pack of 40-plus wolves with opportunities to connect through the fence
  • Learn the inspiring and resilient stories of the wolves
  • Make memories on a hike alongside select members of our pack

An Afternoon with Wolves & Jad Davenport

We are excited to welcome Jad Davenport, a National Geographic photographer, writer, and filmmaker whose four-decade career has taken him to more than 160 countries. Jad has worked across some of the world’s most remote and challenging environments, documenting wildlife, wild places and human stories. A former U.S. Forest Service ranger and wildland firefighter, Jad now works as a field naturalist and spends part of each year studying wolves and polar bears along Canada’s Hudson Bay region.

What you’ll experience:

  • Jad will share stories from his career and introduce guests to the principles of visual storytelling and wildlife photography, and there will be an open Q&A

  • You’ll learn practical ways to create stronger photographs with the camera already in your pocket, with an emphasis on composition, light, perspective, and subject
  • A guided experience in the wolf habitats with the opportunity to observe and photograph our wolves while applying Jad’s techniques and learning to look at wildlife photography in a new way

Whether you’re an experienced photographer or someone who simply loves taking pictures with your phone, this afternoon offers a chance to learn from an accomplished storyteller, connect with our pack, and experience wolves from a different perspective. Bring your smartphone or camera and your curiosity!

When: Saturday, November 7, 11:30 AM–3:00 PM
