I LOVE NY Logo - stackedThe weekly fall foliage reports compiled by Empire State Development's Division of Tourism (I LOVE NY) return for the 2022 season on Wednesday, September 14. Each report uses the on-location field observations from I LOVE NY's team of more than 85 volunteer leaf spotters. Reports detail the predominant leaf colors, approximate percentage of change, and how much color change has progressed relative to peak conditions in each region of New York State. The reports are scheduled to run every Wednesday through the end of the foliage season, traditionally in mid-November.

Empire State Development Vice President and Executive Director of Tourism Ross D. Levi said, "Fall is a popular season for New York weekend getaways and last-minute escapes, as the temperatures cool and the trees develop a vibrant and colorful canopy. I LOVE NY's fall foliage reports are one of the most popular and engaging tools for residents and visitors alike looking to plan a seasonal trip. With such a long and diverse season, it's the perfect time to find what you love and come be a part of all the fall excitement in New York State."
