Natural History Wanderings

The USDA National Forest just released a video:  “Finding The Best Fall Colors”.  It is about finding fall color in the National Forests and their related fall color website and hotline.  See the video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twNOResyOWU&feature=channel_video_title

Hotline phone number:  (800) 354-4595
Hotline Website: http://forestry.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=forestry&cdn=education&tm=79&f=00&su=p284.12.336.ip_&tt=2&bt=0&bts=0&zu=http%3A//www.fs.fed.us/fallcolors/

The hotline is a good information source but not always as up to date as the video claims. (fall foliage can change very quick; check the date of the reports)
