Help to save the bees!

Join in No Mow May supporting pollinator habitats

By waiting just 4 short weeks before mowing your lawn this year, you too can help support pollinator habitats.  

Pick up your free lawn signs to promote No Mow May after April 19, 2022 at The Township of Brock Administration building, 1 Cameron Street East, Cannington while supplies last.

Bees and Butterflies are quickly disappearing. Over time and with research, scientists have discovered that pesticides and modern lawn-care practices were creating mono-cultures that inhibited biodiversity and provided challenges for pollinators’ survival.  Large farms, as well as urban and suburban lawn areas create many acres of land which are poorly suited to pollinator habitats. Things like frequent mowing, and removal of habitat plants, can destroy populations and leave  few remaining nectar opportunities.   Biodiversity is one small but important way to fight the effects of climate change.  Committing to a pesticide-free lawn and going No-Mow for the month of May will help to make Brock Township a safe-haven for all our neighborhood pollinators.  

Brock Township is joining other municipalities in encouraging residents to leave parts or all of your lawn unmown to help support pollinator habitats. The municipality will also be participating by reviewing and reducing the public greenspaces that are mown. 

Bees, butterflies, moths, ladybugs and many more creatures  transfer pollen between flowers, enabling the incredible diversity of plants on our planet to flower and fruit. Pollinators are keystone species in essentially every ecosystem on earth, enabling the reproduction of over 85% of all flowering plants and 67% of agricultural crops. Research has shown significant declines in native pollinator population sizes and ranges globally. Up to 40% of pollinator species on earth are at risk of extinction in the coming years as a result of a variety of environmental stressors including habitat loss, exposure to pesticides, diseases and pathogens, and climate change. To date there have been no scientific discoveries made that can replicate the quality and efficiency of animal pollinators’ contributions to our food sources.
