Here is the third and final collection of our June media contest entries. Starting things off is the above photo submitted by Research Associate Ross Adams, who describes what’s happening in the image: “Jammin’ on the bear can bongos! Pictured: Guy Hernandez, NPS, gets excited for yellow star-thistle treatment on Woodlot Slope in Yosemite National Park. The invasives crew practices bear-safe food storage on the slopes of El Portal, CA.”
Our thanks to all who submitted for giving us so many spectacular photos. You made it really tough to pick a winner, but certainly gave us some beautiful images to remind us of why we continue to work so hard on behalf of our public lands.

As a new AmeriCorps member working towards field based environmental and cultural management for the Great Basin Institute, this has easily become the greatest and most exciting work I have done in my life thus far. Although tough, my work has become therapeutic. On one of my days off while driving alongside the forest that I survey almost every day, I noticed how beautiful the sunset was. I decided to make a quick stop, and I was able to capture this photo of myself admiring a June sunset.”
