Through Your Lens: Fall Photo Contest Winners

We have a winner! Viktor Arzethauser takes first prize in the Our Forest fall photo contest for his photo of a Red fox spotted between branches at Claireville Conservation Area, Ontario in October 2020.

Our team of judges at Forests Ontario had a tough time to choose the winner thanks to the many entrants who submitted lovely photos of forest in the fall. Three photographers saw their winning photos featured in the fall edition of Our Forest.

Missed the chance to submit? With the colder weather approaching, we’re ready to launch our Winter Photo Contest. For your chance to see your work published in the next edition of Our Forest Magazine, email us your favourite winter landscape, wildlife, or forest shots by November 15th, 2021.
