Leaving fallen leaves in place benefits the environment
Original: Leaving fallen leaves in place could offer environmental benefits
Conservation voices are encouraging people to leave fallen leaves on the ground rather than raking and bagging them. The leaf litter provides winter habitat for insects, pollinators and other wildlife, returns nutrients to the soil as it decomposes, and reduces the waste and emissions tied to yard bag collection. The advice, highlighted in reporting from Jackson Hole, frames tidier lawns as a trade-off against local ecological health.
Why now: Autumn is prompting seasonal advice about sustainable lawn care and the ecological role of leaf litter.
