The Borough is allowing its residents to let their lawns grow and not mow them in the month of May to help support the Honeybees. You will not be sent a citation for unkept lawns for participating in this program. The Honeybees need the necessary food to create their hives as they pollinate the flowers and tree around us.
The start of the growing season is a critical time for hungry, newly emerged native bees. Floral resources may be hard to find, especially in urban and suburban landscapes. By allowing it to grow longer, and letting flowers bloom, your lawn can provide nectar and pollen to help your bee neighbors thrive.
Mowing less creates habitat and can increase the abundance and diversity of wildlife including bees and other pollinators. One way to reduce mowing is by participating in No Mow April, No Mow May, or Low Mow Spring.
