We are excited to announce that our 2014 Tug Hill calendar photo contest is underway! Once again, you can help Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust with your photos.
As you know, we spend a lot of time working with landowners to protect and foster responsible stewardship practices. We also focus efforts on educating the community about the region, conservation, and the importance of working farms and forests.
And that's where you come in. Whether you live here full time, seasonally, or just visit once a year - your interest in Tug Hill Tomorrow shows us you care about the region. Take your best shots of Tug Hill so in next year's calendar, we can remind everyone of the beauty in our backyard and continue our important work!
We want photos of landscapes, plants, wildlife, working farms, people smiling at the end of a good hike, etc. Send us your best 10 and it may be featured as the photo of the week on our website and facebook page.
Proceeds from the Tug Hill calendar help land protection and community programs continue.
