<br /> <br />If a resolution is approved, residents who wish to take part in this voluntary program could <br />print a sign to display in their yards to enhance the educational component of this initiative. <br />The Bee City USA website https://beecityusa.org/no-mow-may/ has sign templates <br />available for free. <br /> <br />There are hundreds of pollinator species adapted to hundreds of native plant species in our <br />area. While allowing non-native weed species to flower in lawns is no substitute for <br />expanding the use of native plants, this program does aid in increasing public awareness <br />about pollinators while shifting the aesthetic in favor of more natural landscaping methods. <br /> <br />The Environmental Board recommended supporting “No Mow May” at their May 4th, <br />2022 and January 25th, 2023 meetings. <br /> <br />The City Council, at the May 9th, 2022 Work Session opted to postpone consideration of <br />the topic until 2023 to allow time for more information gathering and discussion. <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />Staff is seeking City Council direction on “No Mow May”. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />None.
