SUMMARY:Becoming A Better Photographer 4-Part Series
DESCRIPTION:This is a WenOut MEMBER ONLY 4-part Educational Series. Become a member now.\nLooking to level up your photography game?? We have an opportunity waiting for you to join a professional photographer and WenOut board member Thom Schroeder for a fun\, hands-on series all about capturing the beauty of the outdoors. \nLocation: Foothills Middle School \nDetails: Photography is a lifelong journey\, and the great news is that anyone can improve their craft. In this four-part series\, we’ll explore the development of three essential skills while incorporating assignments to help you apply them in your own work. This might seem daunting\, but it’s meant to be accessible. We’ll steer clear of overly technical discussions about cameras and software\, as there are plenty of resources available for that. All you need for this series is a camera (even your phone works) and a willingness to improve. While bringing a laptop to share your work would be beneficial\, it’s not a requirement. \nSession One: Tuesday March 25 6:30-8:00 \n\nObservation (90 minutes\, includes a take-home assignment) We’ll dive into the first skill of becoming a better photographer: the art of observation. This involves being aware of your surroundings and learning to anticipate light\, timing\, and movement to create captivating images.\n\nSession Two: Tuesday April 22 6:30-8:00 \n\nVisualization (90 minutes\, includes a take-home assignment) In this session\, we’ll focus on visualization—imagining your final photograph before capturing it. This includes aspects of composition and post-processing\, considering what to include or exclude from the frame\, and how to edit to achieve your envisioned result.\n\nSession Three: Tuesday May 20 6:30-8:00 \n\nManipulation (90 minutes\, includes a take-home assignment) Often referred to as post-processing\, this session will explore editing techniques while revisiting the first two skills to understand how they all integrate.\n\nSession Four: June 17 6:30-8:00 \n\nCritique (90 minutes) Feedback is invaluable in the learning process. In our final session\, we’ll review the photographs we’ve created and discuss ways to continue refining these three skills as we strive to become better photographers.\n\nAbout Thom Schroeder:\nThom is a professional photographer with experience shooting across the country and in our local area. He runs a media and creative agency\, Woolley Creative\, collaborating with clients both locally and nationally. Thom and his family relocated to Wenatchee in 2018. \nSpaces is limited\, please reserve your spots below. Come to as many as you would like\, you will select the ones you can attend when you register. If spots fill up\, we will have a waitlist. \nBecome a member\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Mission Peak Area Plant Walk
DESCRIPTION:Who: Washington Native Plant Society \nLeaders: Tracy Maynard \nDifficulty: Moderate\, 6 miles with 1\,400 ft of elevation gain \nLimit: 10 \nThe primary goal of this hike is to see Anemone patens\, prairie-crocus\, but there are many other plants to be seen as well. Although common throughout the Rockies and western Canada\, A. patens in the Wenatchee Mountains is disjunct and is the only population in Washington. For over forty years it had not been seen but has recently been “rediscovered” in the Mission Peak area. It is usually found near the edges of the retreating snow  in the spring. \nParticipants will meet at Pybus Market in parking lot located on south side of building to carpool to the trailhead\, returning to cars about 3:00 PM. This hike is moderately difficult. About 6-7 miles round trip from the access off of Liberty-Beehive road. Minimum distance\, 4 miles round trip if road conditions favorable. The elevation gain is around 1100′. Good fitness\, food and water will be needed. Wear hiking boots and wear layers for the weather. Participants should bring trekking poles and/or micro spikes as we definitely will be encountering snow as we hike above 6300’. Gaiters are recommended if you have them. We will use the plant list from the WNPS site for Mission Ridge Ski Area. \nhttps://www.wnps.org/plant-lists/list?Mission_Ridge_Ski_Area_including_Mission_Ridge If you are interested in joining this hike\, please email Tracy at tracymayn52@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Moses Coulee Preserve Plant Walk 
DESCRIPTION:Who: Washington Native Plant Society-Wenatchee Chapter \nLeaders:  Tiffany Theden\, Susan Ballinger \nDifficulty Level: Easy to Moderate \nLength of Walk: 2-5+ miles depending on interest and goals of the group \nLimit: 20 \nCome join us on a plant walk at the spectacular Moses Coulee Preserve with Joe Veverka from the Nature Conservancy! The spectacular landforms of Moses Coulee reflect some of the most dramatic geological history on Earth – steep-walled coulees carved by Ice Age floods\, pothole lakes\, haystack boulders\, waterfalls and scablands. We will start our walk heading up to a lithosol area up behind the field station. We will walk along an old 2-track road\, covering ~200ft in elevation gain over a little more than half a mile. If we’re lucky\, the bitterroot will be in full bloom! We are also likely to see an abundance of different buckwheat\, penstemon\, and milk-vetch species. We will then head over to gated Old Todora Rd. to see an area not typically accessible. If we have time and interest we can also head up to Dutch Henry Falls which has a short 0.9 mile (roundtrip) trail and some wetter areas. \nFrom Cashmere\, the drive to Moses Coulee takes a little over an hour. Since it might be getting pretty hot by mid-June\, this walk will start earlier in the morning\, with the aim of us being in the coulee at 8am. Be sure to bring sun protection\, snacks\, and lots of water. Long pants and hiking shoes are important\, since we may travel off trail and some plants can be quite prickly. If people want to carpool\, we can set that up once we have the list of  attendees. \nTo see a plant list for the area\, go to this link https://www.wnps.org/plant-lists/list?Moses_Coulee \nRegister for this workshop by sending an email to Tiffany Theden at the.myco.den@gmail.com
