Before you rake those leaves, think about the wildlife that depends on them! 🍂 🍁

Dr. Kenneth Lacovara explains why leaving the leaves is an important way to support local ecosystems. Fallen leaves provide shelter for insects and other wildlife, help nourish the soil, and play an important role in nature’s life cycle. 🐛 🌱

This fall, a little less cleanup can make a big difference!
