Voices of our Coast
MARCH 23
Join us at Willow Camp on Sunday, March 23rd, at 4 PM for an engaging talk with large cat expert Dr. Quinton Martins—founder of True Wild and director of Living with Lions, a conservation and research project in partnership with Audubon Canyon Ranch.
Dr. Martins will share fascinating insights about mountain lions, their ability to thrive in human-dominated landscapes, and their vital role in shaping conservation efforts locally and globally. As apex predators, these magnificent cats are essential to California’s ecosystems, yet they face increasing challenges as human activity expands into wild spaces.
A limited number of dinner tickets with Dr. Martins are available—reserve yours soon!

Amos Nachoum is a world-renowned wildlife photographer, explorer, and conservationist, known for his breathtaking close-up images of some of the world’s most formidable creatures, including great white sharks, orcas, crocodiles, and polar bears. His work takes him to Earth’s most remote and extreme environments, from the icy waters of Antarctica to the depths of the Amazon, where he immerses himself in the wild—often free-diving without cages—to capture the raw beauty and power of nature’s apex predators.
As the founder of BigAnimals Expeditions, Nachoum leads small groups on exclusive adventures, offering rare opportunities to witness and photograph these magnificent animals in their natural habitats. His work has been published in National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, Time, and The New York Times, earning him prestigious accolades, including multiple BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards.
His lifelong mission is to challenge misconceptions about feared predators, portraying them not as threats but as vital and awe-inspiring parts of our ecosystem. His daring quest to photograph a polar bear underwater was chronicled in the acclaimed documentary "Picture of His Life." Through his photography and expeditions, Nachoum continues to inspire a deeper respect for wildlife and the urgent need for conservation.

The Unbroken Sky dramatizes the true story of a Mexican family’s journey — one of faith, hope, backbreaking work, and an unrelenting determination to realize the universal dream of a better life.
The Story
One night in 1947, a bewildered, excited four-year-old Mexican boy and his family crawl through a hole under a barbed-wire fence. On the other side: America. This is Francisco’s odyssey… a childhood of working in the fields and struggling to attend school; a close-knit family surviving in constant fear of deportation.
