Join us in Eugene for a night of experiencing Oregon's natural beauty and celebrating those who capture it. See stunning photography from across the state, mingle with photographers and wilderness lovers, and celebrate the organization dedicated to keeping our state special - Oregon Wild.

In addition to showing off the winners of Oregon Wild’s 7^th Annual Outdoor Photo Contest and offering framed prints, one of Eugene’s beloved photographers - Tim Giraudier of Headwaters Photographic - will present “Nearby Nature,” a slide show of some of Oregon's most exciting wild areas – all within a three hour drive of Eugene.  His presentation will look at the birds, plants and insects as well as the broad landscapes which combine to give a sense of place of this amazing place we call home. From local natural areas to the Cascades wilderness, you might be surprised to see what's going on in our own back yard!

This event is free, but come prepared to bid on framed prints of photo contest winners! Everyone who attends can also enter a raffle for gift baskets from our event sponsor, Mountain Rose Herbs!
