Natural History Wanderings

Photography has played a vital role in the history of national parks. Early photographers captured stunning images to highlight the need to protect these unique landscapes. Their work allowed people to witness the beauty and significance of these areas, even from afar. Today, both professional and amateur photographers travel globally to document the parks’ scenic and historic vistas. Many parks offer photography classes to enhance these experiences.
