Photo Gallery

Do you have photos of the Coves that you could share with us? We use pictures to tell people the story of the Coves. Pictures may be incorporated into presentations, slideshows, web site, funding proposals, signs etc.

We would welcome historical pictures, people pictures, wildlife pictures, pollution pictures ... whatever you have as long as it is taken in the Coves area. It will only take us a moment to scan the photos and we will return them to you right away.

Pictures may be dropped by the office or sent as an e-mail attachment.
