Make Changes - instead of a leaf blower

• Use a rake for leaves or a broom for grass clippings.

​

• Leave the leaves, or, as many as possible!  A perfectly neat and tidy lawn with no leaves under bushes or plants has less ecological value and has a negative effect on biodiversity!  Leaf litter improves our ecosystems.

​

• Use leaves as a resource for mulch all year and avoid an early spring clean-up to protect insects at early stages and other hibernating creatures. 

 

• Develop new landscaping habits with room for a habitat garden.  The David Suzuki Foundation's LawnShare pledge might help you reimagine!
