Share Your Story in Honor of Jim Brandenburg

At Wolf Ridge, we believe the natural world is our greatest teacher. Few understood and celebrated that truth more deeply than Jim Brandenburg. For more than 50 years, Jim was an integral part of the Wolf Ridge story—as a teacher, board member, photographer, and advocate for the power of environmental education. His legacy lives on in the land he helped protect, the students he inspired, and the stories he told through his lens. As we celebrate Jim’s life and honor his enduring impact, we invite you to share your memories, reflections, or stories. Whether you met Jim in person, were moved by his photography, or experienced his influence through time spent at Wolf Ridge, we’d be honored to hear your story. Your words will help us create a collective tribute to the man who taught so many to see the world with wonder, respect, and responsibility. We will be sharing these stories with Jim’s family to show the many lives he touched. Thank you for helping us honor his legacy and continue the work he held so close to his heart.
