Images

All images here are copyrighted. Except where noted, images by either Katy Chayka or Peter Dziuk are free for non-commercial uses such as PowerPoint presentations, fact sheets, interpretive signs, newsletters, and educational or personal websites. Use in any mobile app, commercial or not, requires permission in advance. Bulk image use requires permission in advance.

Images by any other photographer require permission in advance for any use, commercial or not. Contact us to get in touch with the photographer.

Directly linking to any image on this site is strictly forbidden, except to certain search engines. Instead, link to the web page where it is found.

You may use a photo from this site by either Katy Chayka or Peter Dziuk on your own non-commercial web site or blog, or in a forum post, but only if you download a copy and upload it to your own server, and not link directly to the image on the Minnesota Wildflowers server. Bulk downloading of images requires permission in advance. You may not alter the image except to resize it. Any copyright text or watermarking on the image must be left intact and readable. A link back to this site is appreciated, but not mandatory. You may not use these photos as avatars or logos without prior permission.

If you need high-resolution images for any non-commercial reason, contact us and we'll accommodate if we can.

Requests for commercial use of any photographs published on this site are subject to approval from the photographer. Contact us to get in touch with the photographer.
