CURRENT ASSIGNMENTS
Give people a reason to look around.
Field assignments are prompts, not contests. A phone photo is fine if it tells us something about a place or a season.
Show Us What It Looks Like Now
A current forest, trail, river, beach, lake, storm, access road or landscape photo can be more useful than a perfect postcard.

Nature first.
