Plantlife’s annual project to encourage everyone to manage their lawn for wildlife is back.
Britain has lost approximately 97% of flower-rich meadows since the 1930’s and with them, vital food needed by pollinators, like bees and butterflies has been lost too.
But your lawn can help! A healthy lawn with some long grass and wildflowers benefits wildlife, tackles pollution and can even lock away carbon below ground. With over 20 million gardens in the UK, even the smallest grassy patches add up to a significant proportion of our land which, if managed properly, can deliver enormous gains for nature, communities and the climate.
This is why Plantlife calls for people to get involved with #NoMowMay every year, and let wild plants get a head start on the summer.
