Webster Groves wants residents to delay mowing for pollinator support
SUMMARY: Webster Groves, along with several St. Louis municipalities, is encouraging residents to delay mowing their lawns this month to support local pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The initiative, called “No Mow April,” urges homeowners to leave their lawns untouched during a critical period when pollinators are emerging from hibernation and searching for food. By promoting natural growth and clover, city officials hope to foster sustainable living and enhance local ecosystems. Participants receive signs to display in their yards, sparking community discussions on the importance of supporting pollinator habitats. The initiative aims for continued growth in future years.
Some lawns in Webster Groves are looking a little wilder than usual this April—and that’s exactly the goal. The city is once again encouraging residents to hold off on mowing their grass for the month in support of pollinators like bees and butterflies that rely on early-blooming wildflowers to survive. The idea behind No Mow April is simple: delay cutting your lawn to allow natural plants like clover and violets to grow, providing much-needed food for pollinators emerging from winter hibernation. FOX 2’s Caroline Pettey reports.
