Trees are important to air and water quality.  But their leaves can have a negative effect on our rivers and creeks and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay.

 

A leaf decaying in a creek or river uses twice as much oxygen as it does on land. Decaying leaves also release nitrogen into the water increasing growth of algae blooms again reducing oxygen available for fish, plants, and other aquatic life. Depleted oxygen is the driving force behind "dead zones" in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.

 

What can you do? Bag, mulch or compost your leaves. Believe it or not, stopping leaves from washing into area waterways via storm drains is a very simple and effective way YOU can help protect the Bay.
