Decorative woodsy background
March 15th, 2019 Reader Photo Gallery

February 2019

Your February photos revealed the first glimmerings of spring. Sugar makers tapped trees in preparation for the first sap run, and beavers ventured from the ice. Meanwhile, winter timber harvests continued, and female pine grosbeak went about her own harvest work, gleaning dried fruit. Lonnie Jandreau took a great shot of a bedraggled eagle, and check out Eric D’Aleo’s otherworldly behind-the-icefall images.

We’re now looking for March 2019 photos that relate to northeastern forests. These could be images of people, plants, wildlife, weather, forest management, wood processing, educational activities, recreation, art, landscapes, or events. To submit your photos, please use the form at the bottom of this page. Thank you!

Submission Deadline: Sunday, March 31, 2019
