Join us for another incredible WILDNorth Photography Adventure on February 15, 22 and March 1, 2025!
Have you ever wanted to learn how to capture that amazing wildlife shot? Here in Alberta, we are lucky enough to share our space with so many iconic Canadian wildlife. WILDNorth has teamed up with professional wildlife photographers, Wolfgang and Julie of JaW Nature Photography Ltd., to bring your this amazing WILDAdventures Photography Experience. Grab your camera and join the search for fascinating wildlife, witness amazing Alberta scenery, and learn some tricks of the trade while being responsible stewards of our wildlife.
This trip is aimed to find and photograph Great Gray Owls (GGO) and other wildlife sightings in a safe, minimally intrusive way. Safety for participants and wildlife will always be the highest priority.
Participants are also welcome to come along for the ride without a camera, just to see the wildlife, but binoculars are highly recommended.
100% of proceeds help WILDNorth care for injured, orphaned, and contaminated wildlife. JaW Nature Photography Ltd. are volunteering their time and expertise in order to support the care of WILDNorth’s patients!
- *Note: WILDNorth and JaW Nature Photography Ltd. cannot guarantee wildlife sightings.
Tours include round-trip transportation, professional photography guides, a light lunch, and an incredible day! The experience will be roughly 10 hours each day, meeting around 7:15 am and returning around 5:30 pm (may go longer if something special turns up).
Meeting location: Will reach out one week prior to your tour date to confirm location.
Due to scheduling and safety reasons, we go in one vehicle, no exceptions (no pickup/drop-off in different locations, no following in your own vehicle). The vehicle used will be a 12 seater van.
Please note, there is a maximum of 10 participants per an experience.
Wondering what you might get to see? Well, Great Grey Owls, other birds of prey like Northern Hawk Owls, potential sightings of moose and deer just to name a few! This experience allows you the chance to learn from experts in the field of responsible wildlife photography, JaW Nature Photography Ltd., and witness amazing wildlife with many opportunities for wildlife and landscape photography. Upon wildlife sightings (and if it’s safe to do so) we will stop, and your tour guides will give you some tips on how to approach the animal and how to get the best pictures out of this opportunity.
What does the day look like?
- 7:15 am Meet at TBD quick introductions, leave at 7:30 am sharp
- Drive to viewing area, spend time with Owls/wildlife found / keep searching for more
- Lunch in Westlock ( approx. 12:00pm – 1:00pm)
- Drive to secondary viewing area, hopefully find more owls
- ~5:30pm end of tour , drop off at initial meeting point
A few things to note:
- Please be punctual so that the day can remain on schedule. Waiting means less time looking at wildlife!
- You cannot follow in your own car. We ask that everyone rides together as the leaders will be explaining important information during the drive; there might be additional stops, and the more cars, the less wildlife (they get spooked!).
- Need camera or lens rentals? No worries! Vistek has generously offering a discount on any rental equipment for those that mention your are on the WILDNorth tour.
