🍂 Leave the Leaves! 🍂
Each weekend this fall, the sound of leaf blowers fills the air—but have you ever wondered what happens if you just let the leaves be? It may seem simple, but leaving the leaves does incredible things for nature!
Whittier’s Environmental Club encourages our community to “leave the leaves” to support the insects, bees, birds, and small animals that rely on leaf litter for warmth and shelter during the winter. Even raking leaves into garden beds or under trees can make a difference. 🌿
Let’s work together to protect habitats and help nature thrive! 🌎
