Join Barbara Saffir, Hiking Master & Award-Winning Wildlife Photographer, at Huntley Meadows
Date: Saturday, September 3rd, 2022, from 9:00am-12:00pm
Location: 3701 Lockheed Blvd, Alexandria, Virginia
Amble through the
DMV's premiere nature photography wetland to hunt for birds and beasts -- from statuesque Great Blue Herons to itsy-bitsy green treefrogs with gold racing stripes and sticky feet (like their exotic Amazonian cousins). Wildlife photographer and certified Virginia Master Naturalist Barbara Saffir will share photo and nature tips on the safari. Photographers will hike for roughly two miles along a boardwalk and flat, dirt trails with multiple stops.
From newbies with cell phones to advanced photographers with Lamborghini-level cameras, all are welcome. (Long lenses work best for capturing birds.)
