This program is free and open to the public. Participants will meet at the Prairie Learning Center at 6:00 a.m. sharp before leaving for a specified area on the Refuge.
Amateur and professional photographers of all ages and skill levels are welcome. Bring your own camera equipment, comfortable shoes/boots, long pants, bug spray, sun block, a water bottle and your sense of wonder. Weather permitting, be prepared to go off the walking trails.
