Join award‐winning, internationally‐published wildlife photographer, instructor and author Kathleen Reeder for an exclusive wildlife photography workshop at Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center in Scottsdale, Arizona. “Photographing wildlife is one of the most rewarding areas of photography. It touches our emotions, is dynamic and fast moving, and when we feel the connection, it changes peoples’ lives. This workshop will appeal to photographers of all levels
as you capture special moments with the animals at Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center.”
Located in Scottsdale Arizona, Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center (SWCC) rescues native Arizona wild animals that have lost their homes to development, or are found injured, orphaned, or abandoned. When possible, the animals in their care are rehabilitated and released — healthy and wild — back where they belong.
Those animals that could not survive in the wild can live out their lives at this accredited sanctuary. SWCC is also proud of their contribution to the recovery of an endangered species – the Mexican gray wolf. As a holding facility, SWCC offers space to care for part of the captive population of this rare wolf, and participate as a member of the Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan (SSP). Animals cared for at SWCC include black bear, bobcat, coati, coyote, deer, fox, leopard, Mexican gray wolf, mountain lion, porcupine and raccoon.
