“Trees protect and enhance our environment and quality of life,” says County Administrator Gary Kubic. “Their aesthetic, historical, ecological, and commercial value is profound. The theme Branching Out offers contestants an opportunity to creatively show images illustrating the life, landscapes and love of trees while capturing the remarkable beauty of Beaufort County’s outdoor environment.”
