Our theme, Worth Conserving, reflects our commitment to land conservation and stewardship.
Legacy’s goal is to conserve valued lands in and around Mountain View County, including the counties of Clearwater, Red Deer, Kneehill and Rocky View, and the MD of Bighorn.
Subjects must be local and native to this region. No polar bears, pikas, wild horses or mountain goats, please.
We’d love to see your photos showcasing a variety of life in all seasons—so give us your best shots!
Our conservation work focuses on three areas: ecological, agricultural and heritage/historical.
If this is your first time submitting photos, you may find the following ideas helpful. Please remember, they’re only suggestions—a jumping-off point for your creativity!
Landscapes in various seasons and times of day / Invertebrates (bugs, spiders, slugs, aquatic insects) / Fish / Toads & frogs / Lizards & snakes / Birds / Small mammals (mice, voles, hares) / Large mammals (beaver, deer, elk, bears). / Plants (grasses, mushrooms; seldom seen flowers) / People, all ages, enjoying the outdoors (skiing, canoeing, hiking, painting).
Hay fields, crops, bales. Cattle. Farm equipment. Farmers/ranchers.
Indigenous artifacts, tipi rings, buffalo jumps or rubbing rocks. Old homesteads. Old farm equipment.
Briefly describe your image. (eg. crab spider on wild rose; frost on pine needles).
In 70 words or less, tell us why you think the subject of your photo is worth conserving.
Please include the general location where the photo was taken (eg. west of Sundre; near Cremona).
You’re welcome to submit up to five photos. We’re looking for realistic images and colours, with a minimum of digital manipulation. Photos should be submitted as RGB JPEG files.
We use only horizontal (landscape) images. Please do not submit square or vertical (portrait) shots.
