Join Laurtizen Gardens on October 15 as they welcome author, photographer, and conservationist Michael Forsberg. Forsberg will give a 30-minute presentation on his recent project, Into Whooperland, which catalogs his journey photographing the whopping cranes. He will sign copies of his book afterwards.

Forsberg is a nationally recognized photographer who was born and raised in Nebraska. In 2020 he received the J. Sherwood Chalmers Medal from the Garden Club of Omaha. In 2017 he received the Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography from the Sierra Club in WashingtonD.C., the Environmental Impact Award from the North American Nature Photography Association, and his image of a sandhill crane on the Platte River was selected to illustrate USPS’s Forever Stamp celebrating Nebraska’s 150 years of statehood.
