Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission <br />Agenda Item <br />DATE: November 26, 2024 ITEM: 7.a. <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: Less Mow May <br />Background <br />The City of Roseville has participated in No Mow May/Less Mow May since May of 2022 as part of the City's <br />commitment to sustainability and supporting community ecosystem health. However, recent scientific <br />studies suggest that refraining from mowing during the month of May provides few benefits to pollinators and <br />can have negative effects on turf health and blooming plants that typically grow in lawns. <br />Many cities, including the cities of Eagan, Edina, and Vadnais Heights, are pivoting away from support of <br />No/Less Mow May to promoting year-round pollinator -friendly lawn practices. <br />Recommendation <br />Discuss recommendations for Less Mow May and future pollinator protection strategies. <br />Attachments <br />1.
