Decorative woodsy background

November 2016

Your November photos featured fog, hawks, and the month’s super moon. Bucks knocked antlers, a Virginia opossum scavenged for food scraps, and a flock of snow geese surprised a photographer as they passed overhead.

We’re now on the hunt for December 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.
