No Mow May
No Mow May is a campaign to encourage homeowners to refrain from mowing their lawns during the month of May to support pollinators, native plants, and wildlife diversity. The campaign was started in 2019 by Plantlife, a nature conservation charity, in response to the loss of nearly all of the endemic wildflower meadows in the United Kingdom. In 2020, homeowners in a Bee City USA affiliated city of Appleton, Wisconsin stopped mowing during the month of May. The campaign is supported by the Xerces Society as an opportunity to create better habitat for bees by avoiding pesticides and including more flowering plants in the landscape. By 2022, other cities around the United States and Canada participated in No Mow May.
