🍂 Leave the leaves this fall!

Before you rake, bag, and haul away every leaf, consider letting nature do the work. Fallen leaves provide important habitat and nutrients for our local ecosystems.

Check out this article to learn more about why leaving the leaves is a great choice for your yard and our wildlife. 🍁🐛🦋

The Roadless Area Conservation Rule helps protect some of our nation’s most remote and undeveloped forests from road construction and development, while preserving important wildlife habitat, clean water, and opportunities for recreation.

If you believe these special places should remain protected for future generations, consider signing the petition asking that the Roadless Rule not be rescinded.
