Duluth photographer Dudley Edmondson has been selected to lead photo workshops in Northeastern Minnesota for a new DNR project aimed at getting school students outdoors.
Edmondson is one of nine workshop leaders statewide in the just-announced "Digital Photography Bridge to Nature" project of the non-game wildlife program of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and several other agencies.
The Legislative-Citizen's Commission on Minnesota Resources has funded the project for two years with $160,000. The project hopes to reach 1,000 teachers in 80 workshops. Teachers will then be able to check out kits of 12 digital cameras, card readers and wildlife field guides. Project organizers say they hope to reach 30,000 students.
The workshops will teach digital photo skills and wildlife photography and will identify sites where nature photography can be conducted.
Edmondson is a free-lance photographer and author of "The Black and Brown Faces in America's Wild Places" and has done extensive photography of raptors in the Duluth area.
