Sondaj făcut de Primăria Capitalei: „E una din dezbaterile care revine în fiecare toamnă”

The City Hall of Bucharest has initiated a survey asking residents whether fallen leaves in parks should be collected or left as is. This topic is a recurring debate each autumn. The municipality presents arguments for both sides, highlighting the ecological benefits of leaves, such as soil protection and habitat for beneficial insects, while also noting the need for maintenance and safety in public spaces. Wet leaves can create slippery conditions, block light to grass, obstruct water drainage, and contribute to water quality issues in lakes. Additionally, leaves can harbor pathogens that affect plant health in the spring.
