    The satellite data revealed that spring is arriving much earlier along the northern parts of the Appalachian Trail: from 6 to 18 days earlier on average. “The northern part of the study area is much more greatly affected by increasing temperatures than the central and southern part,” Jantz said. Similarly, USA-NPN data revealed green growth emerged earliest in watersheds clustered within the New England–Acadian forests in New York and the Appalachian and Blue Ridge forests in Virginia and West Virginia, the team found.

    Probably happening on other well-known trails, too.
