Why Nature?
Nature is the only environment that is constantly striving for harmony. We are wise to understand its rhythms, connections and incredible healing power for all living things. There is a deep strand of our DNA that longs to be in this flow. We support activating that strand through workshops, presentations, hikes and other events.

Wildlife Workshops
Individual and group workshops are offered to learn how mountain lions hunt and navigate across the landscape. You’ll also learn about many other prey and predator species. Having a focus for your learning results in opening up the door to understanding connections throughout nature. Your experience will be richer every time you step off the pavement and into a wild place.

Wildlife Footage and Images
Wild Nature Media has sold footage to National Geographic, Animal Planet, BBC, PBS and many other wildlife film organizations. We set the bar high. All wildlife films that use our footage must use all wild footage and all narration must be scientifically accurate. We want to make sure the public is educated with the real deal. Few films meet our requirements. Integrity before opportunity.

MEET DAVID NEILS
Celebrating the Wild in Wildlife
Growing up in Montana, I started studying wildlife seriously at age six. Back then I didn’t have any trail cameras to monitor wildlife activity. The only option was tying dental floss across wildlife trails. I was most interested in apex predators. Visions of grizzlies, wolves and mountain lions would cause me to toss and turn at night and I loved every minute.
Well, I’ve moved up from the dental floss days and after being face bumped by a male mountain lion in the Never Summer Wilderness of Colorado I decided to lean in and learn everything I could about this apex predator. For the past fifteen years I’ve spent time weekly in mountain lion habitat. I’ve developed a system that allows me to accurately map mountain lion activity just about anywhere.
I’m a stickler for wildlife footage that showcases accurate wildlife behavior. No lures, dogs, helicopters or other aids are used. All Wild Nature Media footage is the real deal.
Nature is enough. It requires no hype, no drama, no fabrication to be interesting and engaging. The public deserves accurate wildlife footage as a basis for wildlife education and conservation.
