Leaf blowers have resulted not only in loud, intrusive noise in the fall, but also in the excessive removal of every last leaf, even from bare dirt.
Please leave some leaves alone! The birds, bees and butterflies need numbers of small piles of twigs and leaves in which to shelter over the winter. To blow away every leaf results in an irrevocable loss to a host of creatures, many of which are blessings for our gardens, and lives.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
