Hiking for Charity

Vancouver locals attend hikes while raising funds for various charities throughout the world

In addition to the photography tours, Nature PhotoHikes organizes hikes for Vancouver locals at a discount, with all proceeds going to an annual project. Besides creating a community who share a love of the outdoors, we also get to raise awareness and funds for worthwhile causes. Through the past decade, we’ve donated tens of thousands of dollars to various projects, which will continue through 2021.
