Whether you’ve got a DSLR or a smartphone, try your hand at nature photography for an hour! You’re bound to take your camera skills to the next level–while also opening your eyes to the beauty of the one shared home we must protect!

You don’t have to travel to famous locales to take an amazing photo, either. Professional photographers often shoot wildlife and plants–cats to bees to mushrooms to flowers–around their own neighbourhoods and homes. It’s a fun, easy way to reconnect with their space and gain a new perspective on the often-overlooked–yet incredibly valuable–natural world around them.
