June 2016

In your June photos, killdeer chicks hatched, young raccoons went on a morning adventure, and...what's that stone circle out in the woods? A squirrel met its end in a Cooper's hawk nest, a girl and turtle got acquainted, and gypsy moths were on the march.

We’re now on the hunt for July 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.
