SUMMARY:Photographing Birds in the Field with Tony Baldasaro *WAITLIST*
DESCRIPTION:This program is at capacity. Please join the waitlist and we’ll be in touch if space becomes available.  \nJoin regionally renowned wildlife photographer Tony Baldasaro for a bird photography field trip. Tony will take you out to the northern side of the Burley Farms property to get up close with the fields\, forest\, and beaver pond and our avian friends who call these places home. Participants will learn more about finding the best scenarios for bird photography- including lighting\, bird position\, and bird action shots. This field trip is for photographers with at least some wildlife photography experience and the suggested equipment includes:   \n\nBinoculars \nDSLR or Mirrorless Camera \nLens long enough for wildlife photography (more than 200 mm).  Ideally this will be a zoom lens and not a fixed lens.  (see below) \nBecause we will be primarily photographing small\, fast-moving birds\, a zoom lens with a wide range of focal lengths is ideal.  (100-400\, 100-500\, 150 – 600 are examples).  Having a big\, heavy prime lens\, like a fixed 600mm\, will only slow our participants down.  \nA tripod is not recommended as it can slow down your photography.  Photographers should prepare to be handheld or use a nimble monopod.   \n\nWe hope you can join this educational and fun morning of bird photography at Burley! To learn more about Tony and his photography\, visit his website at tb3photography.com or find him on Instagram @tb3_photo.   \n\nDifficulty: Easy to Moderate\nDonate to support SELT’s Outreach Program now: CLICK HERE\nRegistration required: www.tinyurl.com/seltoutreach

SUMMARY:Birch Ridge Trails Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join SELT’s Trails and Community Engagement Manager Yohann Hanley and Events & Outreach Specialist Derrick Trent at the Birch Ridge Community Forest for an exciting and information 3-mile hike along mostly moderate grades but with a half-mile long descent that is fairly steep and loose. \nWe will hike out Corridor 22\, up the new Lookout Trail\, and then return along Corridor 22. The Lookout Trail was created last summer to avoid the steep section of Corridor 22 shown on the map as Management Access. We will talk about why we moved the trail off the main access road\, how we laid out the new trail to follow the contours of the land\, creating proper drainage on the trail\, and the after construction clean up work we did. We’ll come down the steep and loose section of Corridor 22 so we can look at the erosion issues present. We will also talk about culvert sizing and replacement as we walk through. \nTo reference the map in the description above\, please go to https://seltnh.org/seltlands/birchridge/ \n\nDifficulty: Easy to Moderate\nDonate to support SELT’s Outreach Program now: CLICK HERE\nRegistration required: www.tinyurl.com/seltoutreach

SUMMARY:Bird Photography Field Trip with Tony Baldasaro
DESCRIPTION:Join regionally renowned wildlife photographer Tony Baldasaro for a bird photography field trip. Tony will take you out to the northern side of the Burley Farms property to get up close with the fields\, forest\, and beaver pond and our avian friends who call these places home. Participants will learn more about finding the best scenarios for bird photography- including lighting\, bird position\, and bird action shots. This field trip is for photographers with at least some wildlife photography experience and the suggested equipment includes: \n\nDSLR or Mirrorless Camera\nLens long enough for wildlife photography (more than 200 mm). Ideally this will be a zoom lens and not a fixed lens.  (see below)\nBecause we will be primarily photographing small\, fast-moving birds\, a zoom lens with a wide range of focal lengths is ideal. (100-400\, 100-500\, 150 – 600 are examples).  Having a big\, heavy prime lens\, like a fixed 600mm\, will only slow our participants down.\nA tripod is not recommended as it can slow down your photography. Photographers should prepare to be handheld or use a nimble monopod.\n\nWe hope you can join this educational and fun morning of bird photography at Burley! To learn more about Tony and his photography\, visit his website at tb3photography.com or find him on Instagram @tb3_photo. \n\nRegistration Required: CLICK HERE
