The Vermont Land Trust was working on preserving 428 acres of land in Richmond, VT. They needed photographs of the property to use on social media and to send out on brochures and cards to raise money. I volunteered to take photos for them and they have since used one of the photos repeatedly on social media and on paper. It has recently been used when the Vermont Land Trust received a $30,000 grant from The Conservation Alliance. In addition, the photo was published in an article about the VLT project. Copy and paste the link below to view the 2017 grants. The grant for Vermont is towards the end of the list. The link to the Seven Days article is also below. http://www.conservationalliance.com/grants/?yearly=2017 https://www.sevendaysvt.com/OffMessage/archives/2017/03/01/richmond-residents-to-vote-on-funding-for-proposed-town-forest
