Jeremiah McCaw BS: Visiting Canada in autumn? (33) RE: BS: Visiting Canada in autumn? 25 Oct 06


The leaves start to turn at different times for different areas and tend to peak at different times as well. Here's an idea for a bit of research:

I did a wee bit of searching (www.google.ca & used the search command "autumn foliage tracking") and came up with this from Toronto's Globe & Mail newspaper:


LEAF-TRACKING WEBSITES

To ensure scenic autumn trips, visit the following websites, which track the turning foliage across North America's most colourful regions:

NOVA SCOTIA: Novascotia.com/season/fall/leaf.htm delivers "Leaf Watch" information on five travel routes from the Nova Scotia Department of Tourism.

ONTARIO: The on-line Fall Foliage Progression Report at Ontariotravel.net/publications/fallcolourreport.pdf is updated on Mondays and Thursdays during the fall season, and features a regional breakdown.

QUEBEC: The Belle Province's foliage website -- bonjourquebec.com/ca-en/symphoniecouleurs0.html -- is perhaps the best of the lot, with a handy chart summarizing the percentage of colouring and types of colours seen in dozens of cities, parks and regions.
The Globe and Mail

NEW BRUNSWICK: The text-based site at nbtreehouse.ca/programs/ autumncolours.html, published by Fredericton-based forest-management advocacy group the Tree House, is updated on Wednesdays and describes the progression of fall colours in various parts of New Brunswick.
