Decorative woodsy background

August 2016

In your August photos, a caterpillar transformed, chickadees and chipmunks dined à la main, and hints of autumn yellow appeared along the Maine coast.

We’re now on the hunt for September 2016 photos. We encourage you to share images about anything that relates to the Northeast’s forests, and that you take this month. Here are examples – but by no means an exclusive list – of photo topics that fit this category: nature, weather, education activities (any age), forest management/logging, recreation, wood manufacture, art, workshops, events. As long as it relates in some way to the Northeast’s forests, we’ll consider it.
