These Canadian wildlife DVDs will inspire adults and children of all ages to better appreciate God's Creation and the value of all life on Earth. British Columbia and Alberta have some of the most spectacular and pristine wilderness on this Planet with amazing wildlife that live in their natural habitat.
Some of the scenes you will enjoy in these wildlife films are the life cycle of the Chinook salmon, predators and their prey, dangerous wildlife, grizzly bear attack, bird identification, song birds, birds of prey, falconry, bird banding, wildlife conservation with the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, fur bearing animals, wild sheep fighting during the rut and ungulates in the rutting season. You'll also see First Nations, sport and commercial fishing that are closely monitored by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Pacific Salmon Foundation.
Filmmaker Leon Lorenz has spent more than 2 decades in the wild filming rare animal behaviors for these programs. It is with deep determination and hard work that each film is produced. It is one thing to spot wildlife from a distance, but quite another to capture close and exciting rituals seldom seen by humans. In order to capture such footage Leon has to climb the steep Canadian Rocky Mountains often with a 70 pound pack, endure cold weather and deep snow in the winter and fight off mosquitoes and flies in the summer. Sometimes for days he will hide in a blind to get certain difficult shots and at times face sudden and close grizzly bear encounters. These are all taken in stride as hard work and patience are intergal aspects of being a successful Canadian wildlife filmmaker. When one of Nature's rare and exciting moments finally unfolds in the camera's viewfinder it makes all the hardships worthwhile.

Journey Home of the Chinook Salmon - DVD Volume 6
Journey Home of the Chinook Salmon - DVD Volume 6
The first film of its kind on the returning Chinook salmon on the greatest salmon producing river in the world, the Fraser River.
Rated 10 / 10 by the Pacific Salmon Foundation.
"Journey Home features some of the most unique and exciting footage of the Fraser River Chinook. Congratulations to Leon for his dedication to salmon and cinematography."
Journey Home is an incredible story of the Chinook salmon on the greatest salmon river in the world, the Fraser River. The Chinooks return to spawn in their natal stream or river against many dangers and obstacles such as fishing operations, hungry bears, rapids and waterfalls. For some it will take months to travel nearly 1300 km to make it home where the final chapter of their lives will unfold.
Wildlife filmmaker Leon Lorenz dedicated eight spawning seasons to capture some of the rarest and most exciting scenes ever filmed on the spawning grounds of this magnificent fish. Watch close underwater spawning action, huge Chinooks being caught by bald eagles, grizzly and black bears and see so much more in this complex ecosystem. Fisheries and Oceans Canada monitor and help the salmon population through various ways including test fishing, fishery officers, counting, tagging and hatchery operations.
The journey home for the Chinook salmon wasn't easy and those that spawned fulfilled their final purpose in life. Man, animals, birds, fish, trees, plants, insects and microorganisms all benefit from this very valuable renewable resource, the Chinook salmon.
