The Scugog Environmental & Climate Change Advisory Committee (SECCAC) is inviting photographers of all ages to submit their best images of the plants, animals, and scenery found throughout the township, for a chance to be featured in the 2027 Scugog Nature Calendar.

Twelve photographs will be selected for publication in the calendar, with one standout image earning the coveted cover spot.
