What if one photograph could remind us how connected we truly are to land, to wildlife, to each other?
In 29°7’38” N 81°39’24” W, a quiet clearing in Ocala National Forest becomes the stage for something extraordinary.
created by Carlton Ward Jr., Mallory Dimmit, and Joe Guthrie, this piece from the Florida Wildlife Corridor project reveals more than a breathtaking image. It’s a call to protect the delicate pathways that connect habitats where species move, survive, and thrive.
Through their lens, art becomes advocacy. It invites us to see the wild not as something distant, but as something worth defending.
🍃 What part of nature always stops you in your tracks?
📍 On view now at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown, NY.

Still looking back at the Florida Wildlife Corridor 2019 - DAY 5: the trek passed through a section of restored pine flatwoods on the Arbuckle tract of the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest. With @fl_wildcorridor .
I just really like this picture. I was surprised when I discovered it days later. A common yellowthroat is a good bird. They are easily overlooked but I find them full of charisma, with their quick little bandit faces and the flash of color below. Also I love their camo game.

Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition Day 2 (Oct 21): We ride East, then North, then West, then North, then West again, traveling along down sandy firelanes and the road margins of SR 64 and then following little cow trails through the palmettos until we’ve walked 16 miles. The horses are definitely aware of some uncertainty as to The Way, especially Puddin. Often when we pause to assess our progress he turns to walk exactly back the way we’d come. This is when I learn about palominos. With @carltonward and @mallorydimmitt for @fl_wildcorridor .
