Introduction
The Puget
Sound Urban Wildlife Photography Club is a group of people who share an
interest in wildlife.
-
We came together
in June, 1993, to learn more about urban wildlife, their habitat needs,
and how to achieve a balance between wildlife and people in an urban setting.
-
We provide
photographic support to projects dealing with wildlife awareness, wildlife
preservation, wildlife habitat restoration, and other urban wildlife-related
activities.
-
We have been
inactive for several years, but will be resuming activities in the near
future - keep posted!!!

Field Trips
We have a
lot of fun on our field trips while we photograph, watch, and learn about
wildlife. We travel to both urban and more wild settings, and we
try to keep our group informal and friendly.
-
Urban field
trips include ranger-led wildlife walks in our urban parks; club trips
to urban wetlands, shorelines, and natural areas; and individual trips
to recommended urban wildlife viewing locations.
-
Our out-of-town
field trips are usually two-day weekend trips to natural areas in Washington.

Programs
We also enjoy
informative programs at our monthly meetings, usually held at a local pizza
house.
-
Our speakers
include wildlife biologists and other species experts, wildlife photographers,
raptor rehabilitators, wildlife trackers, equipment specialists, and others.

Our meetings
also include time for you to share your urban wildlife slides and project
information with other members.
