leaf collecting
Raking fallen foliage
Leaf collecting is the hobby of gathering and preserving leaves, typically for study, art projects, or personal enjoyment.
Collectors often press leaves between heavy books or laminate them to maintain their shape and color.
The practice is popular with children learning about trees and botany: We went leaf collecting in the park to identify different species.
