2020 is NSRWA’s 50th Anniversary, and everyone is invited to celebrate with us all year long with activities, contests, and events. We’ve got a series of FREE walks in the watershed planned with NSRWA Environmental Educator Brian Taylor, or you can explore on your own. Each month we will highlight a town in our watershed with stories, social media posts, and more. Every week a property you can explore will be featured.
You can enter to win a monthly prize package by visiting the highlighted properties and posting your photos on Instagram @northsouthrivers with the hashtag #ExploreSouthShore. Once a month we will randomly choose a winner from the posts to receive a prize package.
Entering is as easy as 1-2-3!
- Check out our weekly 50 Places to Explore post on our website, Facebook, or Instagram.
- Visit that property and take a picture of the location or you and/or your friends and family exploring.
- Share the photo with us any time that month on our Instagram page @northsouthrivers with the hashtag #ExploreSouthShore and include the name of the property. Click here for contest rules.
