BACKGROUND:
Preserving Boulder County’s agricultural heritage is one of the main tenets of the Parks and Open Space program. From its inception, the program has preserved working landscapes, acknowledging that the encouragement, promotion and fostering of a healthy agricultural economy can only happen when viable operations are given the resources to flourish. Long-term farm and ranch families were some of the first supporters of this program, working with Boulder County Parks and Open Space (BCPOS) to preserve their lands in perpetuity. As a result, a diversity of operations can be found throughout the County, from small-scale diversified vegetable farms and medium-sized cattle operations to large-scale wheat producers, run by a variety of producers ranging from beginning farmers to multi-generational farmers and ranchers.
The Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department is seeking proposals from a professional Photographer to capture photos of tenants on their leased open space properties. Portraits will capture tenants in their everyday farm or ranch operations. The County intends to use these photos for internal purposes, such as but not limited to: brochures, updating farmer profiles on the County website, promoting summer bus tours and highlighting tenants who host tours.
