Celebrating Nature Through the Lens

 

Valle de Oro NWR invites photographers of all ages and skill levels to enter the 2024 Photo Contest by submitting images that highlight the beauty of the refuge's wildlife, landscapes, and visitors.

 

Wildlife photography offers a unique opportunity to connect with the beauty of nature in a profound way. It allows individuals of all ages to step outside, explore, and discover the vibrant ecosystems that surround us.

 

This contest encourages everyone to pause, observe, and celebrate the incredible moments that nature gifts us every day. So grab your camera, immerse yourself in the refuge’s breathtaking scenery, and let your creativity shine!
