In 2020, a small city in Wisconsin told its residents they could stop mowing for a month. 435 households joined in. The bees came back the same spring.
Appleton was the first US city to adopt No Mow May. The city council suspended its weed ordinance for the month so residents wouldn't get cited for tall grass. Around 40 acres of lawn across the city went uncut.
Researchers from Lawrence University sampled the unmowed lawns and nearby mowed city parks in the same week. The unmowed lawns had 5 times as many bees and 3 times as many bee species as the mowed parks.
Wisconsin is home to nearly 500 native bee species. Most people have never seen them because they don't live in honeybee hives. They're solitary bees, ground nesters, small black or metallic green insects that fit on a fingernail.
Appleton's unmowed yards gave them food and shelter in the hungry early-spring window when almost nothing else is blooming.
The experiment cost the city nothing. It saved residents fuel and labor. It produced measurable ecological results within 30 days.
Dozens of US cities have adopted the practice since. Has yours?
I want to encourage all HS coaches to sign your team up for the @WisBCA Exposure Tournament this June in Appleton. The more teams = more college coaches = more opportunities for all of our players. Everyone wanting to play at the next level benefits.

they’re bluffing when they say you can still get knocked off the nice list this late in the game. santa’s been delivering gifts in japan for hours by now; that list is locked, do whatever you want.
