About Photographer Bob Marshak
Bob Marshak lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and has been doing photography for over 40 years. He and his wife, Judy, have a second home in Graeagle and they enjoy hiking, kayaking, fly fishing, and doing photography throughout the Feather River area.
Bob is passionate about the Sierra Valley and is a frequent visitor there, particularly early in the morning, when the light tends to be sweetest and the wildlife most active. For this slide show, he has selected some of his favorite bird, mammal, and landscape images to share and speak about. In addition to sharing his images, his talk will sprinkle in some very useful tips on how to improve your own nature photography.
Bob has a web gallery that can be found at clickandcast.smugmug.com. To go directly to his gallery of Sierra Valley photographs, click here.
About the Sierra Valley Preserve and Nature Center
Since 2003, the Feather River Land Trust, The Nature Conservancy, and the Northern Sierra Partnership have worked together to create the Sierra Valley Preserve: 2,575 acres of protected land in California’s largest mountain valley. This biodiversity hotspot is at the headwaters of the Wild and Scenic Middle Fork Feather River and a key stop along the Pacific Flyway.
With tremendous community support, we have established the Sierra Valley Preserve Nature Center as a hub for nature-based recreation and learning where visitors and locals alike can experience the wonders of Sierra Valley’s beauty, cultural richness, and incredible biodiversity. The new Nature Center and facilities include interactive exhibits, new interpretive trails and picnic areas, and year-round educational programs and activities.
