Objective: Penn State Brandywine Picture Post project was established in 2014 to create an environmental baseline of the campus before major construction projects begin.

What is a Picture Post? A Picture Post is an 8-sided platform for taking repeat photographs of the entire landscape and an Up picture of the sky. Picture Post supports environmental monitoring by citizens, students and community organizations through digital photography.

Why participate? To engage in a scientific investigation and learn more about our own local campus environment. We seek to establish a baseline survey of the existing campus landscape and future changes caused by nature and humans.

We need digital pictures to create a time-lapse sequence of photos that will document the growth of plants 360° around each of the four campus Picture Posts throughout the year, and for years to come.
