You can enjoy autumn’s beauty all year long by preserving the colorful leaves. There are several ways to do this.

To preserve branches for use in bouquets, split the stems at the base. Cover branches with a solution of two parts water and one part glycerine to a depth of 2-4". Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place until there is a very slight change in the leaf color. Then remove and hang upside-down until dry.

To preserve leaves, gather them while they are supple. Press between thick layers of blotter paper or absorbent cardboard (do not overlap leaves). Place a stack of these layers between two heavy, fl at boards or books and bind tightly with cords or straps.

Store the leaves in a warm, dry place for about ten days,

checking them often and tightening the straps as

necessary. Display your leaves under

plastic in a photo album, or seal them

between layers of clear contact paper or wax paper.

YYoYouu ccann allso ppreservee aaauuuutuuuummmmnnn’’ss bbeaaauuutyy in photographs. Try using colorful overhanging branches to frame an inviting scene, or move in for a closeup of the delicate colors and patterns in individual leaves. You’ll love the results!

The changing colors of autumn signal that trees are getting ready for winter. Throughout spring and summer, most of the food necessary for a tree’s growth is made in the leaves. This food-making process takes place in the cells containing chlorophyll, which gives leaves their green color.

In fall, partly due to shorter periods of daylight and cooler temperatures, the leaves stop making food. The chlorophyll breaks down and the green color disappears; yellow and orange—previously masked by the green—appear.

The vibrant reds, purples, and bronzes come from other chemical processes. The brilliant red of Maples has a sweet side: in the warmth of fall days, sugar is produced in the leaves and then trapped by the night’s chill. The more sugar that accumulates, the brighter red the leaves turn.

TTThhe dddeegggrreeee oof f cooolooor vvarriieess ffroomm ttreee too treee. Leaves directly exposed to the sun may turn red, while those on the shady side of the same tree may be yellow. Color also varies depending on weather conditions. When autumn is warm and rainy, leaves may have less red coloration.

AAs ccolors vaary froomm mmounntainntopps too vallleyss and from day to day, there’s no way to predict when fall foliage will be at its peak. This is a time of change, when each day is colored anew. Only two places in the world have this brilliant foliage—New England and part of Japan—but there’s no better place on earth to see nature’s most colorful display than the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

During September and October, daytime temperatures generally range from 50° to 70°, and nights from 30° to 50°F. As a rule, the farther north or the higher in altitude you go, the cooler the temperature.

Dress is informal for the most part, except in cities and at some resorts where jacket and tie are required for dinner. Bring a mix of casual, comfortable clothes: skirts or slacks with long-sleeved blouse and sweater for women, a jacket or sweater with slacks for men. It’s also a good idea to bring a lightweight jacket or coat.

Shoes should be low-heeled and designed for walking. If you plan to go hiking, include rubber-soled shoes (leather soles will be too slippery).
