Conservation
A share of every print sold goes to the organizations working on the habitat these birds and animals actually depend on.
Photographing wildlife for thirty-five years means watching country change. Some of it has got better — there are birds in this valley now that were not here when I started. A lot of it has got worse, and almost all of that comes down to habitat.
So the store gives money back. It is not complicated and it is not a marketing campaign. A fixed share of print sales goes out every quarter, and each Bird of the Month entry points at one organization doing work on that particular species or its habitat.
