Those who choose to let their grass grow long during the month of May to help pollinators will soon be allowed to do so, with the city drafting a bylaw amendment to make allowances
Joining a global movement, Greater Sudbury is making allowances for “No Mow May,” a month in which people are encouraged to allow their grass to remain un-mowed to help pollinators.
As it stands, a city bylaw requires, “No owner shall fail to cut any grass, weeds or wild vegetation growing on his or her yard that exceeds 20 centimetres in height.” “It’s time we move on some of our CEEP initiatives,” Ward 8 Coun. Al Sizer said, in reference to the Community Energy and Emissions Plan, which maps out a long-term plan to reduce carbon emissions and pollution in Greater Sudbury.
“Studies show that monoculture lawns are detrimental to the biodiversity of pollinators and that allowing spring flowers to bloom and changing a mowing regime can increase biodiversity of ground cover, which includes edible species and flowering plants for pollinators,” according to the preamble to McIntosh’s successful motion.
