Welcome to your outdoors - Fall colors

Don’t look now, but things are really beginning to look like fall out there! The harvest is in full swing, the prairie grasses have acquired their brilliant fall colors, pumpkins are sitting majestically in the fields, and the trees are beginning to dress up in their autumnal finest.

Each year, people especially look forward to the changing colors of our native trees! The colors can be truly vibrant and, accompanied by cool, crisp days, really make fall a beautiful time of the year! But, many people don’t know the science behind the leaves’ changing colors.
