After a two year break, it’s again time to celebrate the wonder and beauty of our region's biodiversity. Local Naturalist group Atlas of Life invite all in the community to send your best photos of wild nature from across the Atlas of Life in the Coastal Wilderness region, the Sapphire Coast of NSW.
Entry is simple and there are some great prizes on offer, including a 2 night stay at luxurious glamping retreat Tanja Lagoon Camp, a restaurant voucher from Wheelers Seafood Restaurant, a guided photography walk with local eco-tourism outfit Navigate Expeditions and whale watching expeditions with Sapphire Coastal Adventures.
Entry is open to all ages, and to residents and visitors to the Sapphire Coast alike. The only requirement is that you are a registered contributor to the Atlas of Life in the Coastal Wilderness database in iNaturalist.
