The 'No Mow May' initiative, originating in Great Britain, is gaining traction in France, encouraging residents to refrain from mowing their lawns throughout May. This campaign aims to bolster biodiversity, which has seen a significant decline, with insect populations reportedly decreasing by 70 to 80% over the last three decades due to factors like pesticide use, habitat loss, and human activity. Several French municipalities, including Coulaines, Feuguerolles-Bully, Baud, and Saintes, have embraced this environmental practice, with some public gardens in Paris also reducing mowing. While there is no national law, the movement promotes a shift towards nature-friendly gardening, recognizing that longer grass and wildflowers provide essential food and shelter for pollinators, unlike conventionally maintained lawns.
