leaf collection
Yard debris pile
A leaf collection is an assemblage of preserved leaves, typically gathered for educational purposes or as a hobby.
Students often create leaf collections for biology class, pressing and mounting specimens to learn plant identification: My daughter spent the weekend gathering samples for her leaf collection.
The term also describes the municipal service of gathering autumn leaves from yards and streets.
