Decorative woodsy background
March 30th, 2018 Reader Photo Gallery

March 2018

March’s charm is not obvious to everyone, but submissions to this month’s gallery show your appreciation for its subtle beauty. Several of these images document quiet seasonal happenings, like the emergence of bears and pussy willow catkins. Others demonstrate a willingness to laugh off the final weeks of winter with a photographic sense of humor. Look for beards carved in wood and formed by lichen, and enjoy a generous serving of snow.

We’re now looking for April 2018 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 for the April gallery: Monday, April 23, 2018
