Spectacular water views, mesmerizing forest scenes, fascinating wildlife interactions, and intricate plant patterns – western Connecticut is full of natural beauty! This summer, we want to see YOUR outdoor photos featuring the places, critters, and flora you love.
Grab your cameras and phones and submit photos from May 23, until September 7, for the chance to be featured (with credit) on the Housatonic Valley Association website, social pages, and in our e-blasts. We’ll also be giving away some fun, pop-up prizes every few weeks, along with a grand prize in September: a stay at the Manor House Inn in Norfolk, CT.
Plus, a selection of finalist photos, chosen by our panel of judges, will be displayed in a gallery at the Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury, CT, in October!
The only rule? Your photo must be captured in one of the 83 towns in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York that make up the Housatonic River watershed. Learn more and submit photos at hvaphotos.org.
The only conservation organization dedicated to the entire tri-state Housatonic Watershed, the Housatonic Valley Association acts to protect the natural character and environmental health of the region from the Berkshires to Long Island Sound. Learn more at hvatoday.org.

The Greenwich Free Library is proud to sponsor a blood drive with the American Red Cross.
An estimated 38 percent of Americans are eligible to give blood, but less than 10 percent actually donate each year. If you are healthy and eligible, please come out to donate.
Most donations take about an hour, so book your appointment, roll up your sleeve, and become a part of the lifesaving mission of the Red Cross. If you don't know if you're eligible, show up to find out. And if you can't donate blood, we would love to have you as a volunteer at our drive.
As an extra thank you for giving blood, all presenting donors will receive a $15 e-gift card by email to the merchant of their choice and be entered to win a $7.5k prize.
