Reposted by Mike LeakeThe Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation @xercessociety.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Every year we make the case for keeping leaves, branches, & plant stems in your yard. Bugs need them for shelter! That’s not to say you can’t tidy up: rake leaves into garden beds, around trees, or just in a pile out of the way. All we ask is that you #LeaveTheLeaves! 🍂🐝 xerces.org/blog/leave-t...xerces.orgLeave the Leaves!One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter.
