With many of us getting our properties ready before the snow flies, here is some solid advice from fellow wildlife rehabbers which we would like to share with you!
Wildlife ranging from turtles and toads to songbirds, mammals and invertebrates rely on leaf litter for food, shelter and nesting material.
Many moths and butterfly caterpillars overwinter in fallen leaves before emerging in spring.
So please, Leave the Leaves!
Nature will thank you and we think your back will too!
