John Fielder Weld County Book
This event is a major fundraiser for Greeley Museums, with ticket sales proceeds and 25% of book sales going towards the foundation of the Friends of the Greeley Museums, in support of their outreach efforts. The Friends of the Greeley Museums provide volunteer support and funding for the Greeley Museums through family-oriented historical events, projects, and exhibits throughout the year.
Four years in the making, Fielder covered all 4,000 square miles of Weld County with his camera, photographing areas from the Pawnee Buttes to the Poudre and Platte, and everything in between. Fielder captured the essence of the people, the history, and the majestic views of Weld County.
John Fielder has dedicated his 40-year career to protecting Colorado’s open spaces, ranches, and wildlands. He received the distinguished Sierra Club Ansel Adams Award in 1993, and the Aldo Leopold Foundation’s first Achievement Award in 2011 – the first time ever it was given to an individual.
