Each year as the Field Trip season ends, we ask you to send us your best pictures from any Foundation Field Trip to our Field Trip Photo Contest. This year the Photo Contest expanded to include submissions of any nature photo taken in Wisconsin.
In this unique year we have found more ways to connect to Wisconsin. Perhaps you found solace on a quiet walk through the woods, a sense of renewal as you watched the seasons change, or a spark of hope as you witnessed other miracles of our natural world. In that spirit we chose Connections as the theme of our 2020 photo contest.
Thank you for being a part of our mission and for letting us see our work through your lens.
