Students at Eastern Mennonite University photographed Virginia Wilderness and proposed Wilderness areas for a semester project and donated their work to the Virginia Wilderness Committee. The students were enrolled in Steven D. Johnson's Fall 2013 conservation photography class.
The students hiked into the wild with their cameras in hand and captured some great shots of wildlife, plants, water, scenic views, and people enjoying Wilderness. The Virginia Wilderness Committee will use these stunning photos on our web site, in our publications, and for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act this year.
We are grateful to Professor Johnson for envisioning this project and to his students for their meaningful photos. These photos illustrate the beauty, biodiversity, and intrinsic value of Wilderness and will serve to teach and inspire all of us.
Below is a sampling of the students' work.
