No Mow May is Back!

No Mow May is Back!

No Mow May
Following on from last year’s success, Westminster City Council is taking part in PlantLife’s campaign ‘No Mow May’ again this year to support biodiversity in our parks and estates.

Some of our parks, greenspaces and housing estates will not be mowed for the entire month of May.

Giving Nature a Chance for Nurture!

A healthy lawn with some long grass and wildflowers benefits wildlife. The wildflowers provide a vital food source for bees and butterflies. With their numbers in decline, they need all the help they can get.

Find out more about why we’re participating on the No Mow May dedicated webpage.

To join us head-over over to PlantLife’s website to find out how you can get involved!
