Mission Statement
The Friends of Hagerman NWR Nature Photography Club promotes interest in Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge and encourages preservation of wildlife and habitats by supporting, assisting and educating nature photographers of all levels.
Membership
The photo club is open to anyone interested in nature photography, regardless of experience or type of equipment. Photo club membership dues and donations enable the Friends of Hagerman NWR to offer photo club activities.
- Photo club members, guests, and visitors are welcome to attend meetings. We encourage attendees who are not members of the photo club to become members so that photo club activities can continue to be offered.
- Some photo club events are limited to members only due to logistics of the event. Become a member to enjoy all photo club activities.
Activities
The photo club meets on the third Saturday of every other month at 1:00 pm. Meeting months are January, March, May, July, September, and November. We meet in the Visitor Center at Hagerman NWR.
- Meetings typically include a guest speaker who gives a presentation related to photography techniques, nature photography, and/or photography software/equipment.
- We schedule photo shoots on the Hagerman NWR grounds. The photo shoot may be of a specific area or feature, such as the butterfly garden or lotus flowers.
- We schedule field trips to nature locations.
