#madshedlove in 2020

Like others, Friends of the Mad River has postponed our in-person work to do our part in making sure everyone in the community stays healthy and safe. But that doesn’t mean our role connecting the people of this Valley in support of healthy land, clean water, and a vibrant community stops. There is so much to love about being in the Mad River Watershed (even if you can't venture out and about) and we want to share what you love most with the broader community, to spread positive vibes and centered feelings during this otherwise challenging time.

Starting today, we are launching the 2020 #madshedlove photo challenge. If you recall the challenge in 2017, it's changed a little!

To be totally clear, we are not encouraging you to leave your home any more than necessary. Friends is "all in" on social distancing (we've long focused on the idea that small, individual actions can add up for the greater good)! So, take pictures & videos of signs of spring in your own yard or forest or dig through your old photos for gems. Stay close to home and let's celebrate the place we live!

The fine print - By sharing your photos and videos you are making them available for Friends of the Mad River to use in promotional print and web content. Photo credits will be given appropriately. There will be no royalties paid for these photos and we will reserve the right to use these photos in perpetuity. By submitting your photos, you agree to these conditions.

Photos and videos can be submitted to madshedlove@friendsofthemadriver.org or posted online on Facebook and Instagram and shared with the hashtag #madshedlove. Read the full story here.
