Monarch butterflies, vital pollinators supporting food production and more, make a 3,000-mile annual migration from the U.S. to Mexico. A vulnerable species, their journey is at risk due to habitat loss. Local communities and WWF are protecting their winter forests. Now, we can help preserve monarch habitats in the U.S.

WEBINAR | Tiny Worlds: Revealing the Magic of Macro Photography
Originally presented January 22, 2025
From majestic mountains to enormous elephants, we often focus on the "big picture" when it comes to nature photography. But to tell the whole story, you also have to look for the beauty in small things. Photo Expedition Leader Laura Geissinger explains how macro photography can give us a deeper understanding of the natural phenomena we encounter, from the petals of an alpine wildflower to the tiny toes of a tree frog in a tropical rainforest. Get her tips for improving your close-up shots of small subjects, and take a peek at the tiny treasures she’s photographed on Nat Hab trips.

WEBINAR | Color Correction 3 Ways: My Photo-editing Workflow
Originally presented December 20, 2024
The rich brown of a grizzly bear. The fluorescent green of a peat bog. The reds and golds of fall foliage. Nature knows no bounds when it comes to color, but capturing those hues in photos can be challenging. Expedition leader and pro photographer Charlie Reinertsen shares three approaches to color grading, all geared toward producing a natural, neutral color balance. Charlie will use Lightroom Classic to demonstrate these techniques (using his images of the Northern Peatlands and Yellowstone), but they can be applied in any photo-editing software.
