About the LCF Video Premiere
In 2023, Roger and Cathy Inman completed the Land Conservation Foundation video entitled “Central Illinois Woodland and River Corridors” after two years of recording LCF’s sites and events and interviewing board members and volunteers. This 18-minute video also includes exciting glimpses of the wildlife that is found at the Sangamon River Corridor Reserve — from the river otter to beavers, coyote — and, of
course, deer!
Roger Inman is a creative, talented videographer with decades of experience. He earned his master’s degree in Radio and Television at the University of Illinois and was the owner of "Moving Pictures," an independent television production and service company for over 30 years. Roger and Cathy earned the status of Master Naturalist in 2010 and have used their talents to produce videos for five non-profit organizations before he offered to work with LCF.
LCF is grateful that Roger and Cathy Inman shared their time and expertise to create this video and is excited that the premiere showing will be at this special event. Video Still: Freshwater mussel survey, by Roger Inman.
