LEAVE THE OLD APPLES BEHIND

The desire for a tidy garden often makes us forget how much nature depends on small scraps.

The soft apples under the trees may seem untidy, but they are part of the winter stores for many animals. For birds like robins, fruit is a rare source of energy when insects disappear and the ground is frozen. Even if they seem unsightly to us, these fallen apples can be vital for the survival of some species.

By leaving a few, you support your local ecosystem—especially during the cold months when food becomes scarce. A little bit of mess can make a big difference. Images were generated with Kl and are for illustrative purposes only. Sources: National Wildlife Federation.
