Fall Seasonal Tips

Use autumn leaves and grass clippings as mulch

Let your soil benefit from natural mulch.

Don't remove or destroy your autumn leaves

Besides breaking down to provide future nourishment, dead leaves provide winter shelter for the toads, spiders, other arthropods, and bumblebee queens that are vital to the health of our environment.

Leave dead trees standing.

Dead trees can become a wonderful source of backyard habitat.

Create a bit of woodland floor

This autumn is an excellent time to add a new natural area to your yard.

Help migrating songbirds

Help birds detect the glass in your windows to avoid window strikes.
