Do you leave your leaves?

Donnetta Elsasser

Every year about this time there is a new article out about why it is beneficial to leave your leaves in your yard, instead of raking them up and getting rid of them.

Instead of an article this year, I'm going to give you some images to consider. Is this a topic that you might discuss with your students?

  • I've always been team leave-leaver, but that might be more laziness than anything. Joy

    An interesting, real world example of the anthropocene at work! One species is making the ultimate decision in a large swath of the natural environment.

    Too true,  . I always think of this in BHP Threshold 4-- Earth and Solar System. But it could fit with "Life"-- habitat has to be considered. And I really like your idea of how the Anthropocene is at work. Think about how many HOA's won't LET you leave your leaves, even if you wanted to. Or if not managed by an HOA, people just don't like the messay look, so for cosmetics they take away habitat.
