No Mow May

No Mow May

We are once again joining the No Mow May initiative and letting the grass grow!

During the month of May our Grounds Maintenance team will be cutting back on the mowing of certain areas of various Council-owned green spaces and country parks. In doing so the grass is left to grow and wild flowers bloom, resulting in a ‘nectar feast’ for pollinators such as honeybees, bumblebees, butterflies and moths, and beetles.

These specific areas have been chosen in order to ensure there are still areas being mown which will still allow residents to continue activities such as dog walking, and allow children to play in more maintained green spaces. Areas such as road verges are the responsibility of Nottinghamshire County Council so are not included in the District Council’s plans for No Mow May.
