Jim Clark has been entranced with the natural world his entire life. He became a wildlife biologist and has shared his fascination with nature through college teaching, grizzly bear research in Alaska, conservation advocacy, and photography. Jim believes that “a nature lover is one who, when treed by a bear, enjoys the view.”

 

Jim has authored and photographed four books, including two books about West Virginia: West Virginia: The Allegheny Highlands and Mountain Memories: An Appalachian Sense of Place. Jim is past president of North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA), and serves as contributing editor for Outdoor Photographer magazine.
