American Friends’ partner, the Bruce Trail Conservancy (BTC), acquires land to ensure a secure and permanent conservation corridor to preserve the trail itself and the experience of hiking it. BTC and American Friends work together to protect  the 34% of the Bruce Trail corridor  still vulnerable to development. Denise’s image will be featured on the cover of American Friends’ 2021 Calendar and the next issue of our publication Among Friends.

We received more than 500 photos from Americans and Canadian amateur photographers. Thank you to everyone who entered and promoted the contest and Canadian conservation on social media.
