No-Mow May is catching on and even some municipalities are encouraging people to put away their mowers for the month. But not everyone thinks it's the best way to help pollinators.
During the month of May, residents are being asked not to cut their grass in an effort to increase wildlife, such as bees and other pollinators in local communities.
There s a growing movement called No Mow May that asks people to abstain from mowing lawns until June. The idea is to let grass and weeds grow for pollinators.
You’ve likely seen the signs, or spotted the overgrown lawns “No Mow May” is back. But proponents in our region want folks to go one step beyond just overgrown grass and embrace the larger pollinator protection ethos.
