The 4th annual Octoraro Watershed Association Photography Contest winners have been decided, and a total of 65 photos were entered in four categories.

The categories, for youths and adults, were Wildlife, Landscapes, Trailcam, and Agriculture. All photos will now be a part of our traveling display to local libraries—Atglen, Oxford, and Quarryville – through the summer. 

Chotty Sprenkle, the contest organizer said, “We had a tremendous response this year with some really outstanding photos all taken within the Octoraro watershed. We also partnered with Octoraro High School, Amanda Keifer and the Students of the Watershed members for a robust youth submission.”
