John Fielder
Photo Contest

ESWA solicits entries each fall for its annual contest for photos that best evoke the splendor of the Wilderness Areas that ESWA helps protect – Eagles Nest, Holy Cross, Flat Tops, and Ptarmigan. In remembrance of John Fielder's many contributions to preserving Wilderness, the annual photo contest has been named in his honor. The winner will be announced at the 2024 Annual Meeting/Party on September 28th. Don't forget to RSVP here!
