Decorative woodsy background

March 2015

Your March photos included a great image of a beaver, squirrel acrobatics, and a turkey mob that never received, or perhaps ignored, that memo about sharing the road. From loggers to sugarmakers, many of you were at work in the woods. Also in this gallery, some early signs of spring.   

We’re now on the hunt for April 2015 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.
