Instructor

Greg Lavaty is one of Houston's most talented and popular photographers of nature subjects. His bird photographs have wowed Texas birders for the past decade. His ability to find birds and to capture stunning photographs is a skill that all nature photographers want to learn.

A selection of Greg's photographs will be on display at the Arboretum during the month of December. You can also visit his on-line gallery.
