Leave the Leaves signs

Many wildlife organizations have emphasized the importance of leaving the leaves. Some organizations have created signs you can display to spread the word about this important topic: The Xerces Society (below) and The Wild Seed Project (at the top right of the page).

You’re welcome to download and print these signs.

The Xerces Society

We used the free Xerces Society signs available on their website, then added the text of each sign in a larger font at the bottom to make it easier for passers-by to read the important messages on each sign. (Or you can download the unmodified originals to distribute on social media.)
