October 2016

Foliage and water were common October photo subjects. A bobcat passed by a game camera, milkweed seeds prepared to take to the air, and a rocking chair beckoned from the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests' Rocks Estate.

We’re now on the hunt for November 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.
