What are the best landscapes and most interesting wildlife of the greenway that once was slated to become the Route 53 highway extension? The Green Corridor Coalition — a coalition of environmental groups that includes the Sierra Club Illinois’ local Woods & Wetlands Group, Lake County Audubon Society, Openlands, Midwest Sustainability Group and Friends of Indian Creek Wetlands — is seeking the most captivating nature images of the greenway for its sponsored Fields of Vision Photo Contest.
The amateur-only contest offers cash prizes of up to $400 for the best photographs in three categories and age/experience groups. The winning images also will be displayed Nov. 1-19 at the Adler Arts Center in Libertyville. (Read the full Sierra Club Illinois blog post.)
Contest entries are free for children, and $10 for adults. Entries must be received on or before Sept. 30, 2021.
