We have prizes! If we reach our goal, five random backers will be chosen to receive a piece of artwork by Amy West. Amy creates images of wildlife through pressed plant collages, and she is making five new pieces of art just for us! Each of these pieces will feature the grassland wildlife that is the focus of our project. You can see more examples of Amy's work in the files attached to this note.
