The annual 2012 Virginia Master Naturalist Volunteer Conference and Training is just around the corner. From September 7-9, members from Master Naturalist chapters across the state will gather to share ideas and learn from each other, to participate in high-quality advanced training sessions, and to learn about a region of Virginia that may be different from their home communities.  Each chapter has been asked to submit two photos, one of native Virginia flora and one of native Virginia fauna, to a contest to be judged during the conference.It will be very difficult to choose just one in each category, as we have very accomplished photographers amongst the ARMN ranks, but please enjoy these photos and vote for one in each category.  Click here to vote.  Voting will be open through Monday, September 3rd.
