Join us for a rare sighting in the wild of the photographer who captured the jaw-dropping images on display currently in the Baker Exhibit Center. World-renowned nature photographer Thomas Mangelsen pays a virtual to the virtual Arboretum on Thursday, August 19, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. to talk about the prolific 40-year career that has taken him to the last of the world’s wild places.
