About Gregg

Gregg McLachlan

Filmmaker, founder, WorkCabin Films

Land acknowledgement
WorkCabin Films acknowledges that we are living, working, and stewarding on the traditional treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the Neutral, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples.

In 2010, Gregg left an award-winning journalism career to follow his passion and launch WorkCabin Films to tell stories about conservation and inspire others to action to save and protect ecosystems, wildlife, and biodiversity.

His speciality is filming and producing the narrative stories, documentaries, and branded content about conservation organizations, big and small, and of the people who do conservation work in the field.

Gregg’s portfolio is a visual chronicle of endangered species, fragile ecosystems, and the resilient communities, researchers, and wildlife biologists striving to protect them. From old growth forests of Northern, Eastern and Southern Ontario, to one of Canada’s most remote wildlife research stations on a windswept sandspit, Gregg’s work connects audiences to the universal language of nature.

His conservation documentaries, most notably the recently released A Priority Place – Hope For A Forest and The Bird House – Life On The Edge at Long Point, are not just visual feasts but calls to action, prompting viewers to engage with the urgent issues facing the natural world. Gregg is not just a filmmaker and cinematographer; he is a force of nature, an advocate for conservation, and a storyteller whose tales resonate long after the credits roll. His next feature documentary Destiny Wild | The Return will premiere in late 2025.

“Working with Gregg on conservation projects is an incredible experience. I’ve worked with Gregg on a variety of projects over the years and have always been impressed with his skill, knowledge and dedication to conservation. He’s fun to work with and his cinematography is spectacular.”
