So in my nearby wood down the street i found a pretty sick spot in there.(ill post pics later) so im beggining to start actually doing some work on it and i had a question.

Should i leave the leaves on the ground and rake all the other shit out or just rake everything out?

Thankss

You didn't really make any sense at all. Maybe you should check what u typed and rephrase it.

get rid of leaves if you are fiulming because it will make it look better, but then again it really would depend son the lighting and angles

pro- leafs add cushioning and protection against ground
con-may stick to snow used in building

definitely move logs and stuff, but if its in a 'nature preserve' then i'd leave the leaves, they wont do any damage

take em out, if they are in the drop in then it will slow you down for sure. At least it slowed me down.
