Meet the “Official I LOVE NY Leaf Peepers” who will be reporting expected changes in fall color from across New York State throughout the season.

Feroz (NYC)
Why Feroz wants to be a Peeper: I am interested in becoming a leaf peeper because in recent years, when I have been going on road trips in the Catskills and Adirondacks to see the fall foliage, I always check the foliage report at iloveny.com. I like to be involved in helping people find helpful information. I also enjoy the fall colors around my neighborhood in Queens, NY.
