Fall Foliage
Leaves do not turn color in the fall. They simply stop producing green pigment (chlorophyll), allowing the reds, oranges and yellows to become visible.
Wormy Wood
American chestnut used to be one of the dominate species in our forests. In the early 1900s, a fungus nearly wiped out the species. Today, much of its lumber - called wormy chestnut - is harvested from those dying trees.
