Northeastern coastal forests


Seasons

What makes deciduous forest biomes so special is that they have four seasons. Although technically all places have four seasons, deciduous forests undergo evident changes from season to season. Deciduous forests have a cold winter, a warm spring, a warm-to-hot summer, and a cool autumn.


Tourism

In New England, especially in Vermont, tourists from places such as New York City come to see the beautiful foliage in the fall. Brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow, and scarlet blanket the trees and provide an amazing view. Maple, Oak, Ash, and Elm are some of the types of trees that show off bright colors in autumn.


Animal Wildlife

Some of the animals that live in the Northeastern coastal deciduous forests are white-tailed deer, grey squirrel, chipmunk, Red Fox, fat doormouse , sparrow, chickadee, Garter snake, snail, coyote, and raccoon. Chickadees, white-tailed deer, and grey squirrels can be seen quite often.
