Did you know that some ways to dispose of leaves can be harmful to Lake Lanier? Leaves are a natural part of the landscape but when they decompose they release a lot of nutrients! 🍂🍁
If the leaves have been blown into storm drains or Lake Lanier these nutrients can be a source of food for excessive algae growth. 🦠 Additionally, when leaves enter storm drains, they clog the pipes and can cause street flooding.
Instead, consider these options for disposing of leaves and protecting Lake Lanier! 💧
1. Never rake or blow leaves into Lake Lanier, streets, ditches or storm drains.
2. Mow over your leaves to create finely chopped mulch that your lawn of trees will love.
3. Put your fallen leaves into your compost bin or other natural areas on your property.
We know YOU want to do your part to help protect Lanier. Follow the tips in today's pro-tip post and take the Clean Lake Pledge, to find out more information on easy ways to protect Lanier's water quality at lakelanier.org! 💚

Good tips for doing our part to keep Lanier clean 👏🏼
Don’t put leaves in the lake!
I’ve seen so many PSA’s about leaves this year hopefully the message will finally get out! Not only are leaves a natural mulch for your flower beds and lawn but the beloved firefly needs the damp leaves to lay their larva! 🐛
