Seeking the Unseen: Capturing Wildlife with Expert Eyes at Rosemont Preserve

The community is invited to the Rosemont Preserve to learn about the Preserve with wildlife camera-trapper and AFC advisor Denis Callet. The event is on Saturday, Oct. 26 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. During this special tour of the Preserve guest will gain insider access to Callet’s camera trapping process and get a behind the scenes look at how he captures such striking images and videos of wildlife.

Since 2015, when Callet first began photographing wildlife at the Rosemont Preserve, he has captured images of 10 different mountain lions – everything from pregnant mothers and their kittens to large males marking their territory. His incredible footage of wildlife not only helps with AFC’s research and understanding of wildlife movement, but also nurtures connections between people and the precious animals they share the land with.

The Preserve is located at the north end of Rosemont Avenue, just past the chain link fence. As street parking is limited, please park at Two Strike Park, 5107 Rosemont Ave. Those with mobility issues who require a closer parking spot should contact the Rosemont Preserve Committee.

Those planning on walking the trails should wear sturdy shoes and bring water to drink.  

This event is free to the public and suitable for all ages; no reservations required. Rain cancels. Sorry, no pets please.  

For further information, contact the Friends of the Rosemont Preserve at RosemontFriends@gmail.com.
