Programs

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with us at this family-friendly event.

Christopher Brinkman is a photographer, naturalist, and animal advocate whose passion for photography inspired him to champion for wildlife. He has developed techniques for returning raptors to their nests, improving their chances of success. He is also committed to ethical photography and community engagement that advances nature conservation.

Christopher’s work has been published in National Geographic. More recently, one of his pieces appeared in an exhibition curated by Heather McMordie with Creature Conserve. Re Inhabiting Conservation uses art to bring conservation closer to the public.

“For some artists, such as Christopher Brinkman whose photographs capture raw moments in wildlife rehabilitation, their practices literally link the two fields.”

Join us to hear Christopher discuss Ohio owl behavior and share stories from his owl re-nesting work.

This family-friendly program features a hands-on owl pellet dissection, a craft, and a short hike.
