How would a 360 degree virtual image map benefit your restoration project or conservation efforts?
How it Works
Our Commitment
We want every organization to see the benefits of a historical record of the waterway, trail, restoration project or natural area they care about.
Apply
Tell us about your project, its impact on the habitat and community, and how a 360 degree virtual map will be used.
Map
The prize winner will map their project. Don’t have a camera? No worries, you can borrow one of ours.

FAQ
Do I need to be part of a non-profit to enter?
Nope. Any organization or individual involved in conservation or restoration may enter. Kayakers, Hikers, Engineering Firms, Friends of Awesome River!
Do I have to collect the images?
