If you like photography and being outdoors, this photography program is for you!

To celebrate National Public Lands Day, the Natchez Trace Parkway will offer an interactive photography program at the Chickasaw Village Site (milepost 261.8 near Tupelo, Mississippi) on Saturday, September 28, 2013, at 8:00 a.m. This photography program is fun, free, and great for the kids!

This one-hour program is open to all ages and all ability levels; beginner photographers are welcome. Bring your camera and join a ranger to learn the basics of close-up photography and practice these skills. For those without cameras, some one-time-use cameras may be available. Visitors are encouraged to wear sunscreen, a hat, comfortable walking shoes, and bring insect repellent.

So come join a park ranger and take beautiful scenic photos. The weather has cooled off, so enjoy the outdoors and learn a little bit about photography! For additional information, please call: 662-680-4027, or visit our web site at www.nps.gov/natr.
