Student photography project helps TLC reserve management
Fletcher McCormack is a student at Tarremah Steiner School. Fletcher used his skills and passion for bird photography to create and sell greeting cards.
Fletcher says, “In Year 8 we are asked to work independently on a project that we are passionate about. I am passionate about birds, photography and bushwalking, so I combined the three to do a project on bird photography.
As part of my project I wanted to do something to protect a bird habitat. Working with my mentor, accomplished bird photographer Els Wakefield, we decided that the TLC would be the best way to do that.
I have taken some bird photos that I thought would look good on greeting cards and chose five images and had them professionally printed. I’ve been selling these cards in packs of five for $8. All the profits go to the TLC to help to fund sensor cameras on the TLC Blue Tier permanent reserve.
Cards can be bought at Tarremah Steiner School’s front office (Nautilus Drive, Huntingfield, Tasmania). I am happy to mail two packs or more for $8 per pack plus postage. I can be contacted at [email protected] ".
Thank you Fletcher for your great initiative!
