Description: This Listing is for ONE NEW Sheet of 10 Northeast Deciduous Forest 37¢ Stamps from 2005.Mint. MNH. No flaws. From a Smoke-free and Pet-free Environment. On March 3, 2005, the U.S. Postal Service issued this sheet of Northeast Deciduous Forest self-adhesive 37¢ stamps in New York, NY - the 7th issue in the Nature of America series of educational stamps to promote appreciation for the beauty of 12 different North American ecosystems. These large sheets (9.2" x 6.7") were designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, MD, and illustrated by artist John D. Dawson of Hilo, HI. Each sheet consists of a large panoramic image of a U.S. geographical region, with the region’s flora and fauna clearly visible. Ten stamps were die cut on to the design, each composing one or more species indigenous to the depicted ecosystem. The back of the sheet has a brief descriptive text, accompanied by a graphic outline of the stamp images. The flora and fauna depicted are identified and labeled with both their common and Latin names. Trees that shed their leaves each fall typify the deciduous forests of the northeastern United States. In autumn, their vivid colors give these woodlands a unique beauty. The region's temperate climate, with four distinct seasons and ample precipitation, supports a complex forest community of plants and animals. The artwork on this sheet features a New England deciduous forest, and includes 27 animal and plant species from this area. The 10 die cut stamps include: Northern Red Oak and Eastern Buckmoth; Long-tailed Weasel; Ovenbird and Partridgeberry; American Beech and White-tailed Deer; Canada Mayflower, Red Eft (Eastern Newt), and Honey Mushroom; Paper Birch and Red-shouldered Hawk; Eastern Chipmunk and Spinulose Woodfern; Wild Turkey; Black Bear and American Chestnut sprouts; and Sugar Maple and Eastern Red Bat.
