                        “Understanding Trails Through Photography”

WHEN:          Ongoing

WHO:             New Partnership: New Jersey Trails Association / D&R Greenway Land Trust / Princeton Photography Club               

WHY:             Increasing need for effective photography of preserved nature trails for websites, p.r. and upcoming exhibition in D&R Greenway’s Marie L. Matthews Galleries

Photographs of our state’s preserved trails are requested by a new partnership of the New Jersey Trails Association (NJTA), D&R Greenway Land Trust and Princeton Photography Club (PPC). We’re looking for photographs of the trails that appear on the New Jersey Trails Association website. Beginning immediately, effective seasonal photographs are called for to fill an increasing need for knowledge of nature trails in our region.  The pictures will appear, with credit, on the NJTrails association web-site, as well as in D&R Greenway’s electronic and print releases and newsletters.

Please visit these sites for trail information:  njtrails.org and www.drgreenway.org
