2014 Fall Foliage Color Change

Unless you live under a rock, you may have noticed that the Fall season is upon us here in Northern Maine.

The colors are gradually changing, and the Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry reports low 10 – 30% color change and very low leaf drop so far.

Gale Ross, Fall Foliage Coordinator for Maine said, “We are right on target for a glorious fall foliage season. With the low leaf drop we anticipate that the northern part of the state will soon be a tapestry of beautiful colors.”
