Recognise these anyone?

After the strong winds from the recent Beast from the East visit, my front and back garden and drive have been covered with what look like seedlings to me, maybe from a tree (see photo)? They're not from anything I have in my garden but just wondering if anyone recognises them please - in case I'd be best sweeping them up to save on unwanted seedlings popping up when the ground starts to warm up again! Thanks 😊

Ash keys ... yes sweep them up and watch out for seedlings and saplings from seeds that escape your notice ... unless you want to live in a forest.

Thanks very much for the heads up 👍 I knew I'd get an answer quicker from the 'forum's vast knowledge base' rather than start researching myself! Right...broom at the ready....that's my job for today! 😆

Edit..Fraxinus excelsior...common name Ash...would be a good fit.
