Fall Foliage Color
Casey Burdick from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources gives a fall foliage update. Updates are given periodically and dated according to the date given. Burdick states that the state of Ohio is a week or two from seeing its true fall color. Color in the leaves seen currently is caused by the drought experienced throughout the summer. Trees sometimes drop leaves early as protection against the drought. The Buckeye tree is one of the first to lose its color.
