Leave The Leaves!

Leaves provide vital shelter for butterflies, beetles, moths, and more! These insects are crucial protein sources for our wildlife in the wintertime. Songbirds and mammals rely on leaf cover to find a meal, and many seek cover among them or transport leaves to their dens to stay warm.

Support our Nashville ecosystem during colder months.

Leave a few leaf piles.

Better yet, let leaves fall where they may. Help spread the word to your neighbors with a yard sign (available for donation below).
