This Spring, David Wilson Homes’ Ecclesden Park development in Angmering has joined Plantlife’s national #NoMowMay 2023 campaign, which recently found that mowing a lawn less frequently can provide enough nectar sugar for ten times the amount of pollinators active.
A spring campaign is encouraging you to leave your grass alone for a couple of weeks.
The No-Mow May Campaign is being promoted throughout the region to avoid or limit cutting your lawn in May.
The extra weeks of growth will allow pollinators to take advantage of the early source of nectar created by flowering plants. The population of pollinators such as bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and beetles has seen a significant decrease over the years.
According to Brittany Cormier, A Project Leader for the Petitcodiac Watershed Alliance, the campaign has been used throughout the world but adopting it in the region could also be beneficial for the river.
