Join us January 24 - January 28 as we celebrate the natural features, creatures and cultures of the Great Smoky Mountains for Wilderness Wildlife Week. We’ll be inviting some of the leading wildlife experts to lead informative discussions.

Ken Jenkins, professional photographer and father of Wilderness Wildlife Week, is known throughout North America. He is an accomplished author of numerous books covering black bears, grizzlies and other wildlife. Because of Ken’s vision in 1990, Wilderness Wildlife Week is a free event built around the principles of family, education and enjoyment of the outdoors. Ken grew up in nearby Newport, Tennessee, a small town at the foothills to the Great Smoky Mountains. He has always been very proud to be from that area. Some of the finest people he has ever met live there. His outdoor interests were keen as far back as he can remember. His mother and father and brother camped and hiked in the mountains all of his young life. After all of these years, he still gets just as excited when he is watching a bear or a beaver as he did when he was young. The joy of watching and experiencing and learning has always been superior to the recording of that subject. It has been a wonderful pursuit traveling around this wonderful world and recording the beauty of God’s hand. Ken has climbed all over his beloved Smokies where he lives on the edge of the park. He has many projects that involve the scenes and subjects in the Great Smoky Mountains. Many, many days are spent with wildlife of various species.
