Say No to No Mow May

You may be hearing a lot about No Mow May right now. The idea is that you should wait until June to cut your lawn so the bees have a chance to forage among the wildflowers there. Unfortunately, an initiative that works well in its original home (the UK) doesn’t translate here! Our native bees are buzzing among blossoming trees this time of year, while our lawns are mostly growing invasive and introduced plants that don't really nourish them. Letting those plants take off may do more harm than good.

Better ways to support pollinators in McKellar:

  • Plant native trees, shrubs, and flowers.
  • Protect existing habitat.
  • Intentionally reduce the size of your lawn.
  • Avoid pesticides, including mosquito sprays.
