About the Artist:

Robert Woodward’s photos have been displayed at numerous venues around Chico, Red Bluff and Redding, including the Avenue 9 Gallery, Art Etc., Chico Municipal Center, and the City of Chico website. He has also been nominated for three Black & White Spider Awards.

The Chico Creek Nature Center is pleased to display his work showcasing the dragonflies and damselflies (order Odonata) of Bidwell Park in a way that they can seldom be observed in nature. Big Chico Creek Canyon is an especially rich place for the “Odes,” and Butte County hosts some 70 species, 61% of those found in California. They are just one more indication of the precious gift we have in the preservation of the Bidwell Park.
