Valley. Click here to read more aabout a few of
our land conservation projects and partnerships. Education
The Valley Land Fund is committed to educating the public about the importance
of land conservation and protection of our natural resources. We use a number
of tools for outreach and education purposes, with the most popular being our
annual wildlife photo contests. The use of photography to educate the citizens
of our area is one of the most important aspects of our approach to wildlife conservation.
Through the use of award-winning images, we are able to make individuals, young
and old, aware of our wonderful natural heritage and the existence of every species
of plant and animal that is in jeopardy. Wildlife
Photo Contest
Our wildlife photo contests and the photography books that
the Valley Land Fund has produced from the images of those contests have been
wildly successful tools in our goal to promote native wildlife habitat conservation.
The Valley Land Fund celebrates, endorses, and recognizes the power of wildlife
photography and its importance to conservation. Private
Landowners
Private landowners play a crucial role in the conservation
of wildlife in America today. Without their participation in conservation, entire
ecosystems will be lost, never to be appreciated by future generations. The Valley
Land Fund believes that wildlife conservation can best be promoted through sound
economic incentives for private landowners to protect and enhance the diversity
of habitats. For
