Allan Bly Nature Photographer | Certified ANFT Forest Bathing Guide

Hi, I'm Allan. After a 40-year career in the Telecommunication industry, I traded the fast-paced corporate world for the quiet rhythm of the trees. As a passionate nature photographer and an ANFT-trained Forest Bathing guide, I founded Forest Lens to share the profound peace that comes from slowing down. I realized that whether I was framing a shot through a camera or simply breathing in the forest air, the true magic happens when we learn to be fully present. Today, I guide mindful walks through forests in Alberta parks, helping others shift their focus, awaken their senses, and find balance in the natural world."

Vision Statement:

• To cultivate a world where people slow down, reconnect, and find deep peace within the living forest.

• Nurturing well-being and restoring balance by guiding people back to the quiet rhythm of the trees.

• A future where the restorative calm of nature is a regular, accessible part of daily life.
