During the final episode of American Spring LIVE, we asked YOU to share your best photos of spring blooms in your neighborhood on the Nature Facebook page, and you didn't disappoint! We received over 900 submissions from around the country. Here are just a handful of the photos shared (see if yours made our gallery!) For more, head over to our Facebook page to really see how spring is blooming across the nation!

American Spring LIVE was filmed in several locations across the country – from our home base just outside Sequoia National Park in California to the Everglades in Florida. This meant that we needed a huge production staff, with more than 150 film crew stationed at each of our remote locations. While we may have been separated, the dedication and enthusiasm for the project remained constant everywhere we worked. Here’s a behind-the-scenes photo gallery of the filming of American Spring LIVE!

Learn how plants and animals depend on each other to survive. See first-hand how climate change can break those connections, altering the timing of weather and plant growth, and disrupting the delicate relationships between plants and pollinators such as moths, bees and butterflies.
