About Kate Marshall Graphics, Inc. |
|
CoveBear welcomes over 9,000 unique visitors from over 68 countries per month! In May 2008, we exceeded 11,000. Our readers include people of all ages from all walks of life, and we daily welcome visitors from dozens of school districts and universities, as well as libraries, agencies, and conservation-related organizations.
KMG is a versatile company that is proud to offer very high-quality products and services, as well as a website to which you will want to return time and again.
Since 1992, Kate Marshall Graphics, Inc. has been providing quality service to its video clients.
Since 1996, our CoveBearTM division has been offering wonderful nature products to anyone concerned with conservation of wildlife and wildlands for many years. We also produce very interesting, educational, and enlightening documentaries.
We specialize in video production and post-production of all types (we can videotape your special event), photography, provide stock footage for professionals, and offer wildlife and wildlands education. We also produce entertaining nature videos for the whole family.
The profits from the sale of each of our products become the direct funding for the next educational project. Your support of the first bear video provided the necessary funding for production of the second bear video. KMG has never accepted funding from any companies or organizations or groups.
Without your purchasing support we could not continue to expand our product line or our educational outreach; we could not continue to support the non-profit organizations with whom we share projects; we could not research and complete meaningful documentary programs that enlighten, educate, inspire, and inform; we could not distribute educational brochures; and we could not maintain this educational website.
With a focus on wildlife and wildlands conservation, a pledge to provide great customer service, and a strong commitment toward education, KMG offers you special services and products. CoveBear. Nature At Its Best.
CoveBearTM is the trademarked name of the part of our company that refers to our products and video / graphics services. Established in 1992, KMG is not involved with geo-caching or any other businesses.
CoveBearTM has come to be known as an innovator in nature / conservation / scientific education, and enjoys a highly-regarded reputation for accurate research and educational video.
CoveBearTM teaches through entertainment and makes learning fun for all ages!

COVEBEAR NATURE PRODUCTS Our nature division, “CoveBear" has blossomed in recent years. CoveBear Nature Products can be found in park visitors centers, giftshops, and wildlife galleries that provide educational materials and souvenirs to people who travel the wildlands of America. We also welcome orders from educators and clubs and anyone planning a fundraising event. For a current listing of shops where you may view our products, up close and personal, please see “Locations” on this website. > DOCUMENTARY PROGRAMMING We currently offer wonderful programs for all ages. They range from the critically acclaimed bear series "Season of the Bear," to the delightful scrapbook of "Cades Cove: The Loop Road," to the kid-tested and parent-approved fun learning programs "The ABC's of Nature" and "Chestatee Wildlife Preserve." All of our VHS and DVD videos are guaranteed against manufacturers defects, and will provide you and your family with hours of viewing pleasure. (We have currently in development but not yet available: a new program about Cades Cove and one about southern Appalachian wildflowers.) > STOCK FOOTAGE FOR PROFESSIONALS Nature stock footage is now available to professionals at very reasonable prices. This video footage contains no audio. Stock footage currently offered is black bears only. In the future, we will also offer stock of wildflowers, elk, whitetail deer, mountains, forests, and many other animals and wild scenes. The video demos are issued for the purpose of referencing material to be used in a specific program, and they are not sold for general public viewing. If you need video to accompany a speech, wildlife presentation, performance, promotion for tourism, eco-tour or cruise, television program or commercial, you may find something here of value to you. These clips are for non-broadcast or broadcast usage, non-exclusive and not buyout. All stock footage licenses are good one year from shipping date of final element: this means the footage must be used within a year, and our copy of your project sent to us. The final element can be provided on Beta-SP, S-VHS, MiniDV, DVD, AVI, or MPEG I. Licenses exclude internet usage. Contact us for terms and prices. We can also produce your program for you, complete with CG (computer graphics), music, nature sounds, and text/titles. All footage was acquired with professional 3-chip digital cameras.
> BOOKS CARRIED ON OUR WEBSITE CoveBear offers readers a "Books" page to see a selection of popular and accurate nature and wildlife books, which are for sale at local bookstores and Amazon.com. We also now offer a selection of books at the CoveBear Book Nook page, which our readers may purchase directly from CoveBear.
