The Barrington Land Conservation Trust has protected and stewards more than 70 properties throughout Barrington. These properties, most of which are open to the public, offer a variety of landscapes and a wide range of flora and fauna. In an effort to capture and share the beauty of its properties, BLCT is sponsoring its first-ever photo contest.
Photographers of all ages may submit as many as 3 photographs in any one or more of the following categories: Landscape; Plants and Animals; and People Enjoying Nature. All eligible photos must have been taken on a BLCT property. Local artist Lenny Rumpler will choose two winners in each category from among the photos submitted by adults and by students under the age of sixteen, as well as a “Best in Show” entry.
