This color change isn't just beautiful, it's a fascinating survival strategy. As trees prepare for winter, they break down chlorophyll and reabsorb nutrients, revealing the pigments that were hidden all summer long. Take a fall hike this week and see how many native species you can identify! #hhltny

🍂As the temperatures drop and daylight shortens, local trees are putting on their spectacular autumn show. The Hudson Valley's diverse forests create one of the most stunning fall displays in the Northeast! #hhltny #lovethehighlands

Together, they provide vital nectar and pollen for migrating monarchs, late-flying bees, and other pollinators stocking up before winter. #northeastplants #pollinators #hhltny #lovethehighlands
