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. And each year you blow us away. Not only because your photographs are beautiful (which they are), but they tell such a wonderful story of the Foundation’s impact on you and our efforts to protect Wisconsin’s incredible lands, waters, and wildlife.

Thank you for being a part of our mission and for letting us see our work through your lens.
