What campaign occurs every May to pause residential mowing and promotes natural growing of landscapes to feed pollinators?
What is: NO MO MAY!
No Mow May is a bee conservation movement that has surged in popularity over the last few years, in part, due to its simplicity. To participate, all you need to do is leave your lawn alone in May. This allows lawn flowers to bloom and feed hungry native bees emerging from hibernation when other flowers are scarce.
