In the Eye of the Beholder

Fall Color Report, North Coast

Bigleaf maple and bracken fern, Jolly Giant Creek, Shay Park, Arcata (9/27/21) Michelle Pontoni

There’s order in the disorder of spent leaves cluttering up the forest in Arcata, as seen by Michelle Pontoni.

  • Arcata Community Forest (100′) – Patchy (10 – 50%)
  • Jolly Giant Creek, Shay Park, Arcata (100′) – Past Peak, You Missed It.
