Wildlife experts, including Sir David Attenborough, have backed this call
With barbeques and garden parties coming up with bank holidays on the horizon, Brits have been warned to delay mowing their lawns.
Wildlife experts have backed this call. Insects and wildflowers use lawns to breed. Cutting down the grass interferes with that.Speaking on BBC's Wild Isles nature documentary about the UK last year, Sir David said: "Nowhere here is richer in wildflowers and insect pollinators than our traditional hay meadows. Sadly, in the last 60 years, we've lost 97 per cent of this precious habitat.
What is No Mow May? No Mow May is an annual campaign across the UK which calls on all garden owners and green space managers not to mow their lawns or grass at all during May in a bid to give mother nature a much needed boost.
