Leaf peeping is the unofficial sport of autumn, and now you can actually play at the professional level. The New York State tourism bureau is looking for volunteers to join a team whose job is to find the best autumn colors around the state.
According to the job posting, “Each week, you’ll be required to submit a detailed report on your observations of the foliage in your area, estimating expected foliage conditions for the upcoming weekend…You’ll be asked to note the location of your reporting, the percentage of leaves you expect to be changed by the coming weekend, the expected colors visitors will see, the overall brilliance of the leaves, and the stage of the season (no change, just changing, near peak, peak, and past peak).”
