GALENA–The Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation (JDCF) has created the Frame Your Family Photo Challenge. A large, wooden frame will be placed somewhere on each of our six public preserves for a period of two weeks. Families are invited to find it, take a group selfie with it, upload the photo to Facebook and then tag JDCF. Those “framing” their families at three of the six preserves will receive a one-year membership to JDCF. The frame is currently located at the Buehler Preserve just down from the Meeker Street footbridge in Galena and will remain there until Aug. 17. Buehler is a destination for area dog owners and bird watchers at the south end of the Galena River Trail. Dogs on leashes are welcome. The preserve is open daily dawn to dusk. Jo Daviess Conservation Foundation is a member supported non-profit with the mission to preserve land for the lasting well-being of people and wildlife. For more information, visit jdcf.org.
