Glenariff Forest Park, Northern Ireland, UK

This storybook setting is Glenariff Forest Park in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, which spans nearly 3,000 acres of woodland and waterfalls. Among its popular walking trails is the Waterfall Walkway, a 3-mile trail that passes through a national nature reserve and past the Ess-na-Crub and Ess-na-Larach waterfalls. Glenariff is home to a rich diversity of wildlife including red squirrels, pine martens, and badgers. Birdwatchers will be delighted by willow warblers, chiffchaffs, and kingfishers. The flora is just as impressive, with trees like the old beech pictured here, oaks, birches, and rowans creating a lush canopy. It's the perfect spot for a bit of soul-searching beneath ancient branches in this beautiful landscape known as the 'Queen of the Glens.'

尽享森林与水域之美 All about the woods and waters

卡塔丁森林和水域国家纪念碑

欢迎来到卡塔丁森林和水域国家纪念碑,这里茂密的林地和原始的水道绵延不绝,一望无际。该保护区占地近87500英亩,于2016年的这一天建立。一百多年以来,该地区在缅因州的伐木业中发挥了重要作用,但在19世纪末,伐木业开始衰落。慈善家罗珊·昆比带头努力保护我们今天在这里看到的景观。她和她的基金会于2001年开始购买巴克斯特州立公园附近的土地,并于2016年将其捐赠给联邦政府,以确保后人能够保护这片土地。

卡塔丁森林和水域的多样化生态系统为各种动物提供了家园,包括驼鹿、黑熊和加拿大猞猁,以及秃鹰和林鸳鸯等许多鸟类。它还为游客提供了许多户外活动,如远足、划独木舟和露营。由于缺乏电力照明,这里的天空在全国范围内是最黑暗的,这使它成为了一个观星的好地方。

Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument anniversary

Welcome to Katahdin, where dense woodlands and pristine waterways stretch out as far as the eye can see. Covering nearly 87,500 acres, this new national monument was established eight years ago today. Maine's logging industry was a big part of this region for over a hundred years but declined toward the end of the 19th century. Efforts to preserve its landscape were spearheaded by philanthropist Roxanne Quimby. She started buying land near Baxter State Park in 2001 and donated it to the federal government in 2016, ensuring its preservation for future generations.

Katahdin Woods and Waters' diverse ecosystem is home to many animals, including moose, black bear, Canada lynx, and bald eagles. Hiking, canoeing, and camping are among popular activities, and it has some of the darkest skies in the country, making it a great place for stargazing.

深入其中 Into the thick of it

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee

Fancy a walk through the Smokies in Tennessee, seen in today's image? Spanning over 522,000 acres between North Carolina and Tennessee, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a treasure trove of natural beauty and biodiversity. Home to more than 19,000 documented species, scientists estimate that tens of thousands more remain undiscovered. Miles of hiking trails wind through the dense woodlands, leading adventurers to cascading waterfalls and scenic overlooks. The park also boasts some of the highest mountains in the eastern United States, including Clingmans Dome, which rises to 6,643 feet. Visitors are often enchanted by the mist that blankets the peaks each morning, giving the park its mystical name. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserve.

In every season, it offers a unique spectacle: the wildflower bloom in spring, vibrant foliage in fall, and serene snow-covered landscapes in winter. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a haven for nature lovers and adventurers alike, promising unforgettable experiences and a deeper connection to the natural world.

嘿,今天长势如何? Hey, how's it growing today?

安大略省的白延龄草,加拿大

三片瓣、三片叶子和三个柱头——这就是白延龄草,它的名字源自拉丁语中的“三”,原产于北美东部,是春季最常见的林地野花之一。与一些稍有暖意就绽放色彩的“冲动型”花朵不同,这种植物开花缓慢。从美国邮票上的图案到俄亥俄州的州花,再到加拿大安大略省的官方象征,白延龄草扎根于各国文化。除了美观之外,白延龄草在草药界也有一席之地。所以,你在林间漫步时,请留意这种花卉珍品!

White trilliums blooming in Ontario, Canada

Three petals, three leaves, and three stigmas—that's the white trillium for you, whose name derived from the Latin word for 'three.' Native to eastern North America, the spring-blooming species is one of the most common woodland wildflowers. Unlike some impulsive blossoms that burst into color at the slightest hint of warmth, this plant is a slow bloomer. From gracing US postage stamps to being the state wildflower of Ohio and an official symbol of Canada's Ontario, the white trillium is ingrained in our culture. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the plant has earned its stripes in the world of herbal medicine. So, next time you find yourself wandering through the woodland realm, keep an eye out for this floral gem!

森林多美好呀! Woodn't it be nice

国际森林日

今天是国际森林日,让我们走出家门,扎根林地吧!森林是地球上重要的生态系统之一,为了提高人们对保护森林和欣赏森林景观的意识,就在11年前的今天,联合国设立了国际森林日。据悉,世界各地的林地占地球陆地面积的30%以上,林地中的木种类繁多,令人难以置信,据估计,全球共有超6万种不同种类的树。森林在提供食物、水和药物等基础资源方面发挥着至关重要的作用。今天的图片展示的是乌干达的布恩迪国家公园,这里有160种树木和100种蕨类植物,以及世界上50%的山地大猩猩种群。森林中的树木之间还生长着茂密的竹林,导致人们在这片森林中寸步难行,因此布恩迪国家公园又名“难以穿越的森林”。

International Day of Forests

Today we're rooting for woodlands worldwide as we celebrate the International Day of Forests. Established by the UN 11 years ago, the day draws attention to the need to preserve these essential ecosystems, which supply food, water, medicines, and other resources. Covering over 30% of land on Earth, it is thought that woodlands around the world contain more than 60,000 tree species. Featured here is the Bwindi Impenetrable National Forest in Uganda, which is home to 160 species of trees and 100 species of ferns, as well as an extraordinary 50% of the world's mountain gorilla population. The forest has thickets of bamboo growing between the trees, making access on foot difficult, giving the Impenetrable Forest its name.

该给靴子系上鞋带了! Time to lace up those boots

铜瀑布州立公园的巴德河,威斯康星州

朋友们,是时候系好登靴,一起去徒步了!早在20世纪60年代,美国的林登·约翰逊总统就签署了《国家步道系统法案》,旨在保护、推广和开发美国各地的自然和历史资源。还在犹豫去哪里徒步旅行?这里有一个选择:就是图上这座位于威斯康星州的铜瀑布州立公园。从巴德河沿岸那长达17英里步道,到瀑布和古老的熔岩流,这个公园有很多值得一去的地方。无论是崎岖的山路,宁静的林间小道,还是海滨步道,这个国家总有一条步道适合你。但请记住,一定要尊重自然,遵循“不留痕迹”的原则,除了照片什么都别留下。祝你徒步旅行愉快!

National Take a Hike Day

Take a hike, buddy! No, not the 'get out of here' version but the 'get out there' version. It's time to lace up those boots and take advantage of our national trails, which span over 91,000 miles. Back in the 1960s, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the National Trails System Act into law, to preserve, promote, and develop scenic and historic trails across the country. Can't decide where to start? Our homepage image offers up one option which is awash with fall colors—Copper Falls State Park in Wisconsin. With 17 miles of trails along the Bad River, past waterfalls and ancient lava flows, this park has a lot to offer. Whether it's a rugged mountain path, a serene forest walk, or an oceanside stroll, this country has a trail waiting for you. But remember to respect nature, follow 'leave no trace' principles, and take nothing but photographs. Happy hiking!

通往天门的阶梯 Stairway to heaven

天门洞,南天门国家森林公园

这张照片所呈现的石拱就是天门洞,它是湖南省北部最受欢迎的标志性景点之一,位于湖南天门山国家森林公园内。要想到达天门洞,你要么选择乘坐缆车,要么乘坐公共汽车穿过有九十九道弯的公路。下车后,你还需要步行登上陡峭的九百九十九级天梯。天门洞海拔高度有4100英尺,整个洞高440英尺、宽180英尺。尽管到达天门洞并非易事,但这趟行程绝对物超所值。

Heaven's Gate Cave, Tianmen Mountain National Park, China

The rock arch formation you're looking at today is Heaven's Gate Cave, a popular landmark in Hunan province, China. This busy tourist destination is located on Tianmen (Heaven's Gate) Mountain in Tianmen Mountain National Park. To reach the arch, you must either ride a cable car or take a bus up a twisty, winding road with 99 turns. (The number 9 represents eternity in Chinese numerology.) Once off the bus, you'll need to walk 999 steps up a 45-degree incline—a stairway to the heavens. It's no easy feat, but this is no ordinary cave. At an elevation of 4,100 feet, the arch is 440 feet high and 180 feet wide.

谁写下了友谊天长地久? Celebrating the Scottish Bard

纪念这位苏格兰诗人

今天是罗伯特·彭斯的生日,让我们向他说一声“生日快乐”!罗伯特·彭斯是著名苏格兰诗人,被视为浪漫主义运动的先驱。今天照片中展示的是位于珀斯-金罗斯的阿伯费尔迪桦林中的罗伯特·彭斯雕像。为了纪念这位诗人,今天还有一个庆祝活动——彭斯之夜。人们会在活动上享用丰盛的晚餐,品尝着羊肚脍的同时朗诵彭斯的诗歌《羊肚脍颂》。晚会通常会以大家合唱《友谊地久天长》而结束,这首诗歌由彭斯于1788年创作。

Burns Night

Today we're wishing a very happy birthday to the man regarded as Scotland's national poet and a pioneer of the Romantic movement, Robert Burns. Perhaps you can celebrate by visiting his statue at the Birks of Aberfeldy in Perth and Kinross, as seen in today's photo. The birch trees here ('birks' in the Scots language) and a local waterfall inspired him to write a song lyric, 'The Birks of Aberfeldy,' in 1787.

You might also take part in Burns Night, a worldwide celebration that involves a lavish, multicourse dinner, a recital of Burns' 'Address to a Haggis,' and a serving of that poem's titular dish. After much discussion and several poetry readings, the night traditionally ends with guests singing the New Year's standard, 'Auld Lang Syne,' with words written by Burns himself in 1788.

木之美 Beauty comes in trees

穆涅略斯自然保护区,西班牙

穆涅略斯自然保护区有西班牙保护最好的栎树森林之一。栎树也被称作普通橡树、欧洲橡木或英国橡树。除橡树外,这片面积13560英亩的保护区内还有无梗栎。

20世纪70年代起,穆涅略斯自然保护区便禁止伐木和打猎。如今,这里被联合国教科文组织列为生物圈保护区,进入其中的人数都被严格控制。保护区内设有游客中心,大多数游客最远也就能被允许走到这里。因此今天的这张照片,可以说非常珍贵。

Muniellos Nature Reserve

The Muniellos Nature Reserve is one of Spain's best-preserved forests of Quercus robur, otherwise known as common oak, European oak, or English oak. The 13,560-acre reserve in Asturias province also includes sessile oaks, seen in our photo alongside beech trees.

In the 1970s logging was banned in the reserve. Soon after, hunting was also banned. Today, even human access to this UNESCO-designated biosphere is carefully controlled. There's a visitor center, and that's about as far as most tourists are allowed. We're just glad we have photos of this incredible forest.

季仙境 Winter wonderland for your wallet

保加利亚Borovets滑雪

Borovets是保加利亚最古老的冬季滑胜地,成立于1896年。它是一个更便宜的欧洲滑雪胜地,而不是阿尔卑斯山上更昂贵的滑雪胜地,特别是对于滑雪新手和那些在斜坡上寻找乐趣而不大钱的人来说。

该度假区曾被保加利亚皇室用作狩猎场。Borovets覆盖了保加利亚和巴尔干半岛最高的山峰Musala Peak的麓和山脊,位于国家首都索非亚以南几十英里的东部Rila山脉

Borovets ski resort in Bulgaria

Borovets is Bulgaria's oldest winter resort, established in 1896. It's a cheaper European skiing alternative to the more expensive resorts in the Alps, especially for novice skiers and those looking for fun on the slopes without shelling out the big bucks.

The resort area was once used by Bulgarian royalty as hunting grounds. Borovets covers the foothills and ridge-spine of Musala Peak, the highest mountain in Bulgaria and the Balkans, in the eastern Rila Mountains only a few dozen miles south of the national capital, Sofia.
