Summer Photo Contest!
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in HVA’s 2025 Summer Photo Contest!
We are thrilled to share that we received more than 425 photo submissions from 110 participants, covering 58 of the 83 towns in the Housatonic River watershed. We are blown away by these numbers and can’t wait to make next year’s contest even bigger!
Our HVA team is so grateful for your support as we work to keep the Housatonic Valley healthy and clean through land conservation, river restoration programs, and education. Check out all of the incredible winning submissions below!
