Decorative woodsy background

March 2016

Swarming stoneflies and salamanders! Your March photos revealed early harbingers of spring.  Maple sap flowed, woodcocks danced, and frost heaves popped up along the roads. What’s the spring special at the Eagle and Coyote Restaurant?  Thawed beaver with a side of surveyor tape.

We’re now on the hunt for April 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.
