We need your photographs

Each year, the Fairfield Association produces a calendar featuring photographs taken in Fairfield Nature Reserve, Fairfield Orchard and Aldcliffe Road Triangle. It is one of our major sources of fundraising.

We rely on people submitting photographs they have taken throughout the seasons. We then choose 12 of the images to feature in the calendar
