As part of a nationwide biodiversity campaign, our people took part in No Mow May, allowing lawns to grow naturally to support wildlife and local ecosystems.
No Mow May, launched by the conservation charity Plantlife in 2018, encouraged individuals to pause mowing during May to support early-season pollinators and increase biodiversity. By allowing grass and wildflowers to grow, lawns can provide vital sources of nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies and other pollinating species at a time when food can be scarce.
By giving space for nature to thrive, our people helped create habitats that supported a healthier environment. What began as a simple change at home became a shared effort, linking individual actions to a wider ecological benefit.
We saw the impact firsthand. One Birmingham-based partner recorded 63 species in her garden through local and global wildlife initiatives, while another reflected on the return of bees and the opportunity for her children to connect more closely with nature.
These small, personal actions highlight how everyday choices can support biodiversity, contributing to healthier ecosystems and encouraging a stronger connection with the natural environment in the places where our people live.
