About SVNP
The Sudbury Valley
Nature Photographers
are an informal

Alaska's
Denali National Park Images Presented at March 12 Meeting
Join fellow
photographers at the March 12 Meeting of SVNP to take an armchair tour
of two very different landscapes. Bob Diefenbacher will present a show
featuring images made during an eight day experience in the wilds of Denali National Park. And
Maggie Hsu will show images of Greece.
 The meeting
begins at 7:00 pm at Traditions Senior Living Facility, 10 Green Way,
off Rt. 126/27, one mile south of Route 20 in Wayland, MA. Look for the
darkened driveway, Green Way, directly across from St. Ann's Church
building.
 Denali is a
fascinating wilderness carefully protected from the impact of humans.
The animal residents "own" this huge national park and
visitors give them the right of way. Denali's two peaks tower over the
rugged landscape comprised of tundra over permafrost. Visiting this
beautiful place is a rare experience.
Come early and enjoy snacks and conversation
at 6:30 pm. We need volunteers to bring a few
nibblies and some beverages. If you are able
to help, please call Wayne Hall 978-443-9226
You can view the club's ongoing exhibit at Traditions. If
you have print(s) for hanging at Traditions (and we would like more)
please contact Wayne Hall (978-443-9226) or Betsy Moyer (508-358-2939).
Or simply bring them to the meeting. We welcome new additions and
replacements for the Traditions Exhibit.

Field Trip Update
If you have an idea for future field trips please email
Carol Walsh at clesliewalsh@hotmail.com. She
is keeping a "running list" to see which places are
appropriate for the season and how many members are interested.
Some ideas from last SVNP meeting were:
Chatham, Ma- to see the seals. (Checking on best time to see them.)
Far North in Maine to see the moose. This would have to be an overnight
since it is a 6 hour trip. Best seasons to see moose is in the
spring or October.
Upcoming field trips:
Wayne will keep a look out for the ice breaking up in Walden Pond for a
local field trip. Possibly in March, but this is ice dependent!
Carol will find a date in April
or May for a full day trip to Newbury, Ma. to photograph salt marshes
and surrounding areas of Parker River, Pine River and Plum Island.
Look for a special SVNP email which will be sent with details about
these spring photo opportunities.
