Did anyone see Beetle Juice this morning? He was here helping Keep Haralson Beautiful pick-up litter and promoting his new movie. We picked up around the fast-food area in Bremen and disposed of 5 bags of trash. KHB will resume monthly litter cleanup after the holidays in January. Location to be determined.
If you know of a street or park that needs attention, let me know.

We want to thank everyone for coming out for our Halloween Cleanup today! If you're in the area right now, consider joining us at the Price Creek Rd. fast food area for a litter pickup!

In keeping with the Halloween season, we're giving the barn owl a spotlight! Barn owls are often thought of as both symbols of wisdom and omens of calamity, their faces a wonderful mix of uncanny and adorable. In nature, they're extremely proficient hunters, with flexible necks and incredibly large front-facing eyes that allow them some of the best night vision among all avians. Their specialized wings allow for silent flight, which, combined with their radar-shaped face that gathers sound signals more efficiently, allows them to hunt animals as large as raccoons.
If you want to help preserve these icons of the spooky season, consider joining us for our Halloween cleanup! You can find more information on our monthly cleanups at keepharalsonbeautiful.org,

Do you leave fallen leaves on your landscape or do you bag them up?

It turns out there are many benefits in keeping the leaf litter in your landscape:
🦋 It provides winter habitat. Many butterflies and moths overwinter as eggs, caterpillars, chrysalises, or adults in leaf litter. Removing the leaves can remove those insects before they ever emerge in spring.
🍂 The larval form of many firefly species live in leaf litter. Our Big Dipper firefly is a great example.
🐝 Native bees use leaf litter, too. Some species nest in or under the soil and benefit from the protection that leaves provide.
🐛 It feeds the food web. As leaves decompose, they support insects and other tiny organisms that become food for birds, amphibians, and other wildlife.
🌱 It improves your soil. Leaves break down into organic matter, returning nutrients and helping soil retain moisture.
🌳 It's natural mulch. A layer of leaves protects plant roots from temperature extremes and helps suppress weeds.
💰 Less work and less waste! Instead of bagging leaves and sending them away, you're recycling nutrients right where they belong.

Today is National Nut Day! We're highlighting a species of nut that's actually native to Georgia, and beloved to many of us, the pecan! Not a true legume, pecans are instead grown from a species of hickory tree. Pecans themselves are the thin-shelled seeds of the pecan tree, dropping from the near-inedible fruiting body after maturity. They are one of the most recently domesticated major crops in the world, only beginning agricultural cultivation in the 1880's.
Nature holds an untold variety of life, some of which may end up beautiful, or bear delicious fruit, but all of which deserves our protection and care. If you want to join us in that effort, consider checking us out at keepharalsonbeautiful.org.
