Photo quality is important so set your camera for the maximum resolution setting. Members will vote for the Member s Choice award during the Annual Meeting.

Photos should include people and be a stunning, action-oriented representation of the Steps taken in our woods. Arrivals and Departures ~ This category is looking for photos illustrating the Spontaneity of Spring or the Farewell of Fall. Photographs should showcase the attributes (qualities) of these two drastically different seasons in the woods. Whether it is buds breaking or leaves falling, songbirds nesting or geese flying, April showers bringing May flowers or frosty freezes, consider submitting a photo that highlights the best aspect of either an arrival or departure in your woods. Photos must not include people.
