"This year’s fall foliage season, and I’ll start here in New England where we’re standing, is going to be a good year, but not the ideal year. Not the perfect year. And the reason being is that we had a good summer. We had some rain and some moderate temperatures. Unfortunately, the last month we’ve had very little precipitation in New England. And it’s been warmer than usual. The result of the warm and dry weather is that some leaves are going to dry up early. They’re going to turn yellow, maybe even turn brown and fall off prematurely. It’s their survival mechanism. The other thing is that some trees are going to turn later. And the third thing is that some trees that normally turn brilliant red aren’t going to have enough sugar in the leaf because of the warmer temperatures. The colder temperatures trap sugar in the leaf that turns brilliant red and gives you the most beautiful colors, especially in the maples."

"We go through the year without really paying attention to our forests, and then they turn these brilliant colors of red, orange, yellow, gold, bronze, rust in the fall. And it reminds us that there’s some amazing amount of diversity out there."
