Biodiversity Photo Sale
This month we’re running a small fundraiser for Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants. For each $20 donation you can select an image, taken by our founder, of wildlife from around the world. These photos are from various locations including Australia, The Gambia, Costa Rica, South Africa, Peru, the Galapagos, Colombia, Scotland and the United Arab Emirates.
If interested, send an email to jo*@****************at.com with the name of the image you’d like. We’ll send you instructions for making the donation as well as a digital file of the image that you can print.
We can also have images professionally printed and sent to you if you live in Canada, you can make that request in an email and we can share size and price options.
Wildlife images from Joe’s Instagram are fair game as well if there is something there that is preferred: https://www.instagram.com/joegrabowski/
