Fall Trees

Not everyone in Panem has seen the splendour of a forest changing colors. Not all areas have trees that turn; even deciduous forests remain green throughout the year in warmer climates. Even the ignorant, however, will instantly recognize this section of trees, which lies just to the west of the Cornucopia, as an iconic representation of autumn. Every tree is aflame with brilliant reds, yellows, and oranges in varying shades; even for those used to such things, the sight is breathtakingly beautiful. Just because it’s pretty doesn’t mean it’s safe, though. Those lovely leaves could hide anything, human or animal or even mutt, and the forest is littered with fallen leaves that crackle no matter how carefully you walk across them, easily alerting all but the deaf (and dead) to your approach.
