Decorative woodsy background

November 2015

In your November photos, a pileated woodpecker dined on grapes, a mink struck a pose, and oh no!, Mr. Bill turned into a cherry tree! This November was much warmer than last year, and wildlife seemed to take advantage. Beavers continued to fell trees for their food caches, and no snow meant easy apple grazing for coyotes and other creatures. The golds and faded reds of late autumn lingered.

We’re now on the hunt for December 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.
