Leave the leaves
"Leave the leaves" is an initiative and practice promoting the ecological benefits of not removing leaves from your yard space in the fall. Fallen leaves provide crucial habitats for a variety of birds, amphibians and insects. It also enriches the soil by returning organic matter and nutrients as it decomposes. Rather than bagging and disposing of fallen leaves, consider leaving them where they are or raking them into your garden and landscaping beds or existing compost piles. So save your back, your time and your yard and its inhabitants and "Leave the leaves!"!
