This summer, CPAWS, along with six of our fellow environmental organizations asked you to show us why you #LoveTheBoreal by sharing your best shots of people, places and wildlife in a landscape that covers over 80% of our province. You responded with an overwhelming number of inspiring photos that begin to tell the story of the boreal as a place we live, work, play and love.
Today we are congratulating the talented winners of this contest. Continue to tag your boreal images with #LoveTheBoreal and help us tell the rest of this incredible story.
