NorthEastern Section of American Chemical Society (NESACS) and Bedford Community welcomes you to pledge for "No Mow May" campaign in light of Science Outreach event Chemists Celebrate Earth Week (CCEW). The CCEW 2022 theme is “The Buzz About Bugs: Insect Chemistry”.
Inspired by the article "
https://www.thebedfordcitizen.org/2021/05/garden-week-day-two-no-mow-may/", how about pledging for “No Mow May” campaign? If No Mow May is not an option for you, that is completely ok!! How about “Less Mow May” or “Grow More May”. As very well described in the above article, we can lengthen our pollinators menu card by not mowing our lawns in May (No Mow May) or not mowing a part of our lawn in May (Less Mow May) or planting more wildflowers in our lawn for our pollinator guests in May (Grow More May).
Adapt whatever works best for you and your lawn. If you are interested in participating, please sign up for the pledge and help our early pollinators do what they love to do, pollinate.
Also ‘take n save’ pictures of your lawns before and after “No Mow May”. We will be sending a request to share them in June.
