As the weather warms, the City encourages residents to participate in another year of No Mow May. This initiative, designed to support ground-nesting pollinators like bees, asks residents to set aside their mowers and embrace a month of natural growth.
No Mow May isn’t just about letting grass grow, it’s a commitment to biodiversity and environmental stewardship. By refraining from mowing, using harmful chemicals, and tending to weeds before they seed for the month of May, you are playing a vital role in nurturing the local ecosystem. You don’t have to abandon your lawn entirely; start small, perhaps with your backyard or a side yard. If your grass grows too long, trim no more than a third at a time.
As June approaches, City staff will resume regular maintenance checks, but your participation in No Mow May will greatly help our pollinators
