Decorative woodsy background
December 5th, 2017 Reader Photo Gallery

November 2017

In your November photos, a bear waved, a squirrel sunbathed, and a mature buck faced down the camera. Ducks swam through foliage reflected on water, and hikers explored an old quarry.

We’re now looking for December 2017 photos that relate to northeastern forests. These could be images of plants, wildlife, weather, forest management, wood processing, educational activities, recreation, art, landscapes, or events. To submit your photos, please use the form below. Thank you!

Submission Deadline for the December Gallery: Monday, January 1, 2018
