Cattle for conservation
Last week the TLC was lucky enough to have American photographer Bill Hatcher who has shot many articles for National Geographic Magazine come down to Tasmania to document the cattle being removed from the Vale of Belvior for the winter.
Bill’s home town is at a little over 2000 meters in the mountains of south west Colorado. He has photographed for various land conservancies across America and has spent plenty of time documenting ranch life in his part of the world, hence his particular interest in the cattle at the Vale of Belvior.
Bill gave up his time and considerable skill free of charge to support the TLC and be part of the Vale of Belvior photography project. The project will mount two parallel exhibitions over summer in adjoining galleries at the Tasmanian Wilderness Gallery, Cradle Mountain. The intention is to explore the landscape of the Vale of Belvoir through a diverse range of photographic expression.
You will be hearing more about the exhibition as it comes together over the coming months.
