onenicebugperday:teal-deer:onenicebugperday:A great campaign from the Xerces Society to remind us not to clean up our yards too much in the fall!Our little invertebrate friends need winter homes :)Make your yard a haven for local wildlife!More information about how leaf litter benefits wildlife here here.Make a donation to the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation here. They do great work, and I’ve been a monthly donor for a long while now.Donate $57 and get this Leave the Leaves yard sign here!Don’t feel obligated to donate, but spreading the word on tumblr or other social media using these graphics is super helpful! Is it cool to put them in a compost pile? I try to get the leaves in the yard before the lawn guys my parents hire / the HOA people get to them and put them in said compost pile, as I feel that’s better than them simply being removed. Yes, a tidy pile in a corner, around the bases of trees, or in garden beds is still better than complete removal! -- source link
