Decorative woodsy background
November 9th, 2018 Reader Photo Gallery

October 2018

Peak foliage occurred at precisely 2 p.m. on Monday, October 8, and we have the photo to prove it. Your images reflected the shiftiness of the season – a red-backed salamander was still above ground in Pennsylvania, while high atop of Camel’s Hump in Vermont, the scene was full-on winter. Kids enjoyed a day in the woods, blueberry barrens glowed red, and deep in the Maine woods, three moose peered out from young forest.

We’re now looking for November 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 next gallery: Friday, November 30, 2018
