Leave The Leaves!
Leaves provide shelter for butterflies, beetles, moths, and more! Many insects overwinter under leaves. These insects are crucial protein sources for wildlife in colder months. Songbirds and mammals rely on leaf litter to find a meal, and many seek cover among them or transport leaves to their dens to stay warm.
