UC Walks 2020 Photo Contest Winners

UCANR staff and faculty opted outside for a Virtual UC Walks in 2020. More than 100 ANR staff and academics walked together while apart this year because of shelter-in-place restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the crisis, UCANR logged a total of 90 hours of activity. Several participants submitted photos of their walks to the photo contest competition hosted by the UCANR Staff Assembly Wellness Committee.

Awards were presented in three categories: nature, urban and fashion

Best nature photo winner, Ana Medina, awed us with her lovely twilight panoramic of the Bay Area:
