Congratulations to Jack Freckleton and Alex McCarthy, as they have won the 2023 Forest Photo Competition in the Primary School and Secondary School categories respectively! This competition is run by OneFortyOne.

Entrants were tasked with taking a photo that showcases what the forest means to them. This could be in plantation forests, or native forests.

Jack:
"What I love about the pines is when I go for walks with my two dogs in the magical forests around Dartmoor. I took this photo one morning with the sun shining through the trees which is beautiful. This area around my house is a great way to relax and calm down and have some time where it’s peaceful after a big day."

Alex:
"The photos which I have captured illustrate my love for the local forests and the importance of the ecosystem. My photos for this competition capture a moment of harmony in nature - a slug hanging from a mushroom in the forest. Both the slug and mushroom play vital roles in the forest's ecosystem."

Jack and Alex’s photos will be exhibited at Mount Gambier Airport gallery space. Well done to both of you on your fantastic photos and achievement!
