Hello Friends and Supporters,
We are excited to announce that 12 student photos have been selected to be in a calendar for 2026, and 12 different photos were selected for a new poetry book!
Student photographers from Focus on Nature were excited to work in partnership with the Benjamin Project (www.thebenjaminproject.ca), a non-profit initiative educating children on responsible pet ownership and animal stewardship.
AND
One Thousand Trees (www.onethousandtrees.com), a Guelph-based publishing company whose mandate is empowerment through storytelling and connection, on two separate projects in 2025.
Stunning photographs of various animals were featured in the 2026 Benjamin Project fundraising calendar and A Window to Your Soul, in which 12 poets wrote a poem in response to a photograph they randomly selected.
Place your order for either the calendar, the poetry book, or both with us by filling out this form.
