Tired of raking every fall? 🍂 Skip the rake and #LeaveTheLeaves! It’s easier on you and better for your yard, pollinators & the planet. Leaves = shelter + soil nutrients = a thriving garden! 🦋🐸 #FallGardening #LakeSimcoeWatershed

These small jelly-like blobs are a colony of filter-feeding animals called bryozoans. Each colony starts off as a single animal and grows into a group of clones. These colonies are small, and attached to an aquatic plant, but can grow big as a football and resemble a brain!
