The Naturalists' Camera Club of Toledo


Our aim:
To make the photographer a better naturalist and the naturalist a better photographer

The Naturalists' Camera Club of Toledo originally was formed as a study group of the Toledo Naturalists' Association in 1961. It is a non-competitive, slide-oriented group with an annual membership of around sixty

At each meeting, members' slides on the subject of the month are shown. Also, a special slide show is presented by one of the members or a guest. A coffee and social hour concludes the evening.

Field trips to areas of varied habitat are planned six or seven times a year. Photographers of all skill levels attend the meetings and field trips. This creates an easy, open teacher/student learning environment. Be it simple or complex, we all learn and have fun. Annual treks to nature areas, usually of one week duration are also on our schedule.

We have no age restrictions and guests are always welcome. Some of our members are not photographers but just enjoy the nature oriented programs
