It's the season for changing leaves, apple picking, and pumpkin spice lattes—and none of those favorite fall colors, flavors, and activities would be possible without nature. Now is the time to protect nature and everything it does for us: https://wwf.to/42jItZF.

Do you know why the leaves change colour in the fall? 🍂

As the days get shorter, less sunlight is photosynthesized by the leaf. This signals to the leaf to stop making chlorophyll.

Once this happens, the green colour starts to fade and the reds, oranges, and yellows in the leaf shine through.
