FALL LEAVES
Did you know there are easy steps you can take to make
a difference in your community?
Every day, the state’s sixty-six conservation districts work to prevent
pollution in Pennsylvania.
But we can’t do this alone.
We need your help. By taking a few simple steps, we can all make a difference.
• Compost leaves instead of putting them out for the trash or burning them;
• Use biodegradable bags for municipal composting;
• Use leaves to cover bare ground around flowers and vegetables leaving
space around the stems to prevent rot;
• Do not rake leaves into the street where they can wash into
storm drains and cause floods.
Together, we can conserve our resources and keep Pennsylvania growing. Remember, it’s up to all of us to be good stewards of our commonwealth.
