Default big Leaves in cabin filter

cleaned out my cabin air filter the other day and found some leaves that were 4" long by 1-1/2" wide

how does something that big get through the grill under the windshield?

is there a way to stop them, but then i suppose I won't be parking under trees like that but it's just got me a bit mystified how something that large could get in there!
