McDowell Sonoran Preserve 2013
Photography Contest
If you've been reading this
blog for more than 15 seconds, you already know I'm a huge fan of
Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Conservancy. We hikers have them to
thank for preserving irreplaceable desert land on the outskirts of
our suburbs and also for building a stunning network of trails for our
enjoyment. And, the work continues with plans to expand recreational
opportunities in the Brown' Ranch area this year. Haven't been there
yet? Now is the perfect time. Spring wildflower season is here and
the McDowell Mountains area's rich biodiversity makes it a premier
location for bloom spotting. May I suggest the Bell Pass and Gateway Loop Trails.....
As an extra incentive to
draw visitors to the preserve, the Conservancy has launched its 2013
Focus on Conservation photo contest. This year's categories are
biodiversity, sustainability, families and fitness. So grab your
camera and submit your best shot for a chance to be featured in an
online gallery.
Whether you head out on your own or as part of one of the organization's guided hikes, it's a great way to get to
know all about this North Valley jewel of a hiking destination.
DEADLINE: May 31, 2013
