Ever wonder if you can take a season off from raking your lawn and just leave the leaves be?

A free information session in DeKalb this month will offer the chance to learn why keeping those leaves on your lawn can benefit gardens, local wildlife and the planet.

The DeKalb Public Library will host the session at 6 p.m. Oct. 28 in the library’s lower-level Bilder Family Meeting Room, 309 Oak St.

Participants can learn how fallen leaves enrich soil, reduce waste and provide habitats. No registration is required.
