Saturday, April 17 at 1 PM, there will be a free wildflower photography workshop at the Ponca Elk Education Center in Ponca, Arkansas. The topic will be photographing Arkansas wildflowers and will be put on by professional photographer Michael Doherty who is focused on wildlife and outdoor photography in the upper Buffalo River region.
Interested persons should contact the Ponca elk education center at 870-861-2432. the class size is set for 20 pristine participants, and if more than 20 register a second session will be scheduled in our or so after the first. The goal is to keep the class size small so that there will be good interaction with the instructor.
Everyone is encouraged to attend. Ideally each participant should go to Lost Valley Campground, and spend the morning taking pictures of wildflowers. This preparatory exercise will get them in the frame of mind to think through the challenges they faced in the morning and relayed it to the instructional content presented in the afternoon.
The free wildflower photography workshop is a part of the ongoing educational programs of the Ponca Elk Education Center, a program of Arkansas Game and Fish.

Wildflowers Peaking Now At Buffalo National River
Plan to visit Buffalo National River if you are a wildflower fan. The wildflower bloom is now at peak and will last for a couple of weeks yet before beginning a slow decline.
Popular venues include the Lost Valley Campground and Smith Creek Preserve. A handful of early species are now past their blooming period, but just this week Phlox, Jack-In-The-Pulpits, May Apples, all the woods violets, Larkspur, Dogwood Trees, Red Bud Trees, and Crested Iris have started blooming.
Lost Valley Campground is a great venue for the entire family. The first half-mile of the trail is barrier free with two benches to rest on. This same section of trail has virtually every wildflower that is blooming everywhere in Lost Valley.
Of course, the wildflower story transcends Lost Valley. The entire Buffalo National River region is ablaze in wildflowers. Virtually every roadside, feeder creek, holler, and bank of the river is a part of the bloom.
For specific information and timing of the species as well as other Buffalo National River information, visit http://arkansaswildlifephotography.com. For floating contact Lost Valley Canoe at http://lostvalleycanoe.com. For lodging and outfitters, visit http://upperbuffaloriver.com, for an area guide and to stay just minutes from the river and all the famous attractions like Hemmed In Hollow, Steel Creek, Indian Creek, Lost Valley, and the Ponca Wilderness.
Spring is prime time in the heart of Buffalo River County, Newton County.
