We are all privileged to have access to state and national parks, national forests and wildlife refuges. It’s our responsibility to care for these lands to protect the native plants, insects and animals that inhabit them. When I capture images of delicate orchids, beautiful wildflowers or incredible insects, they are captured right where I found them with great care so as not to injure them or disturb the environment around them.
