FOPOS is hosting its ninth annual photo contest, Perspectives on Preservation, sponsored by REI Co-op Princeton.
The Perspectives on Preservation photo contest showcases the diverse forms of beauty that photographers find in the Mountain Lakes Open Space Area and builds awareness of the role Mountain Lakes plays in protecting biodiversity and enhancing quality of life in our community. The goal is to encourage residents to explore the natural world more deeply and to learn what our community most loves and values about the Mountain Lakes Preserve and surrounding area.
