Meet Robert H. Holt

Robert Holt has been hiking the trails of Arkansas and National Parks for over 50 years. He has hiked over 135 trails in Arkansas alone.

Over the past five years, he has worked for his son, Cameron Holt, who has mentored him in photography skills. Robert and Cameron have worked with the Nature Conservancy in its youth adventure programs, and both teach photography and conservation to youth and adults through homeschool-based programs, Boys and Girls Clubs, and youth groups around the state.

Roberts's love for birds has allowed him to focus on rare birds in Arkansas and surrounding states, and he has recently worked with Smithsonian researchers with video and stills on what limpkins are eating in Arkansas. He also recently worked as a volunteer with the National Park system to document birds through photography during the annual Bird Count.
