Your October photographs included late-season caterpillars, a gathering of moose, and quiet waterside scenes. Brook trout spawned, a great egret snacked, and a slug gave a mushroom a hug.

We’re now looking for November 2019 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!
