An Opportunity To Have Your Photo Used On The Nature Conservancy Website!

Fishing the Brodhead - Photo By Bob Hare
The Nature Conservancy has made a request for pictures of the Brodhead Creek area of the Poconos for possible use by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in an upcoming web article on their website in the Global Insights section. They are doing an article about a piece of land that is in the Poconos that is owned by a family and managed through a program called Family Forest Carbon Program that was started by TNC and American Forest Foundation. The family gets compensated for protecting and restoring the forest. TNC is looking for pictures representative of the Brodhead Creek area to accompany the article. We do not have the location of this property beyond the fact that it is located on the Brodhead. Submitted pictures could include close-up detail shots, animal shots, landscape shots, etc to be representative of the area.
Brodhead Creek runs from north of Canadensis, through Cresco, past ForEvergreen Nature Preserve, along the Stroud Township Greenway and past Dansbury Park to discharge into the Delaware River north of the Water Gap. We all have photos taken on or near the Brodhead Creek! Review yours for images that give a feel for life on the Brodhead.
There is no compensation for submitted photos, but if your photo is selected for use in the article, you will be credited as the photographer and retain all rights to the image(s), A photo release (pdf) will be required for use of any pictures selected.
Unfortunately, time is short for this project. Images must be submitted no later than August 8th (ten days from the date of this email). If you think that you might have photos of this nature (no pun intended) contained within your archive, dig them out, dust them off and send them in the Dropbox drop off site for consideration. Or spend a pleasant day on the Brodhead with your camera. Include your name in the submitted picture(s) filename(s). TNC will credit the photographer, but has requested that no photographer watermark be used. Submit as many images as you wish and include one signed release (print it out, fill it in and rescan/photograph the form) so that TNC may contact you if your masterpiece is selected. Drag or drop your submissions to:
Brodhead Creek Area Photos Drop Site
While there is no compensation for pictures used, it would be a very significant honor to have one of your photos included on a TNC publication. Check out the TNC Website and look at the quality of the images used by TNC. To my mind, the image quality is on the same level as found in the National Geographic Magazine. You might also note the 2022 TNC Photo Contest beginning on August 1st.

While we are very familiar with the work of the Brodhead Watershed Association and the Pocono Heritage Land Trust, The Nature Conservancy is also active in PA and in our area: The Nature Conservancy In Pennsylvania.
If we get enough pictures submitted for consideration by TNC, our PPC Club Website will feature a slideshow of all submissions to recognize the participants and celebrate the beauty of our area.
