🌼🌱 We’re entering the final two weeks of NO MOW MAY! 🌱🌼
Thank you to everyone who is voluntarily participating and helping support pollinators and a healthier environment for plants and wildlife throughout our community. 🐝🦋
As a reminder, the purpose of the Resolution was to encourage environmental benefits during the month of May. Residents are encouraged to use discretion when managing their properties. If grass or vegetation becomes a safety or health concern, or if it may become too difficult to mow effectively in June, residents should cut it back as needed.
