Capture Fall’s Fiery Foliage: Mamaroneck Seeks Tree Photos for Community Exhibit

MAMARONECK, NY (October 14, 2025) — The Town of Mamaroneck is calling on residents, students and aspiring photographers to capture the autumn splendor of local trees for its annual Fall Tree Photography Exhibit.

Open to community members and students in the Mamaroneck School District, the exhibit invites submissions showcasing trees in their seasonal glory. “Fall is waiting in the wings! Grab your cameras and phones! We’re going to add photos of our trees!” the town’s Environmental Information account announced.

Photographers are encouraged to highlight the shape of the tree, its silhouette against the sky, the bark and the buds, along with “the tree’s leftovers – leaves, nuts, and seeds.” Submissions can feature heritage trees or baby trees, personal trees or Town street trees, and even the same tree across two seasons.

The post explains the science behind the spectacle: “As temperatures start to drop and daylight decreases, trees start to prepare for winter dormancy. Those changes almost make trees look as though they are getting dressed up for a party! Let’s give them the ‘red carpet’ treatment and photograph them in all their glory!”

To participate, entrants must mat their photos and label the back with name, grade (if in school), telephone number and email address.

Submissions, addressed to Town Sustainability Coordinator Sue Odiarna, should be dropped off at the reception desk on the ground floor entrance to the Town Center by Nov. 14. Limit one or two photos per person, with mats no larger than 14 inches by 16 inches.

Selected photos will go on display at the Town Center. “We are excited to continue showcasing our Town’s treasured trees!” the announcement concluded, accompanied by a vibrant image of autumn foliage reflecting in a serene body of water, credited to ©Alane Newsome.
