http://www.contracostatimes.com/environment/ci_13499553Bay Nature magazine organized a photo contest in honor of the District's 75th anniversary. The winning images are featured in the print edition and online as well. We were familiar with several of the winners who are also members of the District's Flickr photo group and have donated use of images to the District for use in Regional in Nature, map brochures and other publications. Grand prize winner Jerry Ting's photographs are included in the display in the Board room (behind the directors).
