Join award‐winning, internationally‐published wildlife photographer, instructor and author Kathleen Reeder for an exclusive wildlife photography workshop at Lions Tigers & Bears in Alpine, California. “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 Lions Tigers & Bears.” Located in San Diego County, Lions Tigers & Bears is a federally and state licensed non‐profit 501(c)(3) rescue facility dedicated to providing a safe haven for unwanted and abused Big Cats and other exotic animals. Lions Tigers & Bears is one of a very few accredited Big Cat Sanctuaries in the United States. Animal species living at the 93‐acre rescue facility include African lion, mountain lion, tiger, bear, bobcat, serval, leopard and more. In addition, free‐
roaming peacocks can be seen regularly. Bobbi Brink, Founder of Lions Tigers & Bears, strives to rescue a limited number of cats and other exotic animals that have been abused, confiscated, or are in danger of being destroyed for lack of a suitable home and provide them with a permanent home. See photos of the animals in residence and read more about this wonderful rescue facility at www.lionstigersandbears.org.
