ADVANCING CONSERVATION THROUGH THE POWER OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Eagle Valley Wild (EVW) is a non-profit enterprise that provides professional photographic services to conservation organizations and initiatives in Eagle County, Colorado.
Simultaneously, the project educates and inspires locals and visitors with compelling content that fosters awareness, appreciation and protection of Eagle County’s land, water and wildlife.
Since its inception in 2019, EVW has helped secure hundreds of acres of land, critical wildlife habitat and over $10M in funding for conservation efforts.

CREATING IMAGES WITH IMPACT
Photography is one of the most powerful tools of conservation.
However, very few non-profit conservation organizations can afford it to the level they need to adequately communicate their missions and celebrate their achievements. The Eagle Valley Wild project fixes this problem by providing professional images to qualifying organizations and campaigns for a modest fee or free of charge.
Providing high quality visuals amplifies missions, enhances marketing materials, leverages fundraising efforts and helps illustrate specific campaigns. As a result,
EVW imagery makes local conservation efforts more successful.
The role and importance of local waterways can be difficult to capture in words, so images are crucial in communicating those messages. Eagle Valley Wild’s photography has made an astounding impact on our ability to communicate our mission.
