@sophia.esperanzaa: Leave the Leafs 🍁 what are your thoughts 💭?What do you do/ don’t do with your tree fall every year? 8 million + tons of leaves end up in American landfills annually. They’re carted to dump sites not able to return properly to the earth - where they fell. Where their shelter & nutrients are needed by critters, creatures, soil life & plants. Earth is of genius design. Knows what she’s doing. And we can reap deeper abundance by working with the cycles & within the natural rhythms. This Fall/Winter consider supporting life in these ways:•leaving the leafs •creating bug snugs•consider piling fallen limbs & branches into mound for shelter to animals •careful to upturn stones & logs, friends may be keeping warm 🐍 •watch for injured / vulnerable wildlife that could use some support •sharing seeds/feed with birds & creatures •water supplies •putting your bare feet on the ground, going outside to feel the change in season…getting out of ‘comfort’ and into the elements •lean into seasonal eating, support local•create shelters for wildlife during freezes So many people have HOA’s - I get it. While we work on ways to help regulating boards update to the times - there’s still so much we can do. Our yards, even a small portion of them - can be havens for wildlife/acts of regeneration/ places of sanctuary. Wishing you beautiful days, cozy nourishing meals & peace #LeaveTheLeaves #RewildYourYard #FallForNature #BackyardHabitat #RegenerativeLiving #WildlifeFriendly #natureknowsbest
