Conservation student urges Seattle residents to 'Leave the Leaves'

Original: ‘Leave the Leaves’: Local conservation-biology student’s request for you

A conservation-biology student in West Seattle is asking residents to 'leave the leaves' this fall rather than rake them away. Leaving leaf litter in yards provides winter habitat for insects, pollinators and other wildlife, and helps soil health. The appeal, shared by a local community news outlet, is part of a growing campaign among gardeners and ecologists to rethink traditional fall yard cleanup habits.

Why now: It is autumn yard-care season, and advice on wildlife-friendly gardening is circulating widely.
