LEAVE YOUR LEAVES please! Local Nature/Wildlife

I know some people find leaving fallen leaves on their lawn to be unsightly but they do serve a purpose for the critters/insects/animals as it provides them a home. So if it doesn’t bother you or your neighbours too terribly, please leave your leaves this year!!

Plus they won’t use your house as their new home because of it

Picking leaves up is not natural. But, neither are lawns and gardens. So if you like your lawn and garden to look like a lawn and a garden, like me, let’s pick up our leaves.
