Vision Fire Island: Photo Scavenger Hunt

August 4 - September 30, 2009

A Fire Island-wide photo scavenger hunt has been created as one of the park's planning tools for its new general management plan (GMP).

The goal of this project is to help define the character of the island wide community and what the people who live and play there believe makes it unique. Help capture the essence of Fire Island! 

One of the many values of our National Park Service (NPS) sites around the country is the opportunity each offers for reflection, contemplation and inspiration. Many people express these values in their works of art, and there are a number of venues for sharing your work.

At Fire Island National Seashore, you may get out in the park to create images to share in a variety of NPS park partners' photo and art contests, or you can enjoy the work created by other artists inspired by park resources.
