Kahnawa’kehró:non, The Challenge Is On!

The Kahnawà:ke Environment Protection Office (KEPO) No Mow May for the month of May is ready to launch! This year’s challenge is asking for community members to refrain from cutting their lawns for the entire month of May with the goal of supporting biodiversity and pollinators. KEPO saying that by waiting until June to cut our lawns, we:  allow pollinator insects, like endangered bees, and their food supplies the opportunity to undergo a critical part of their life cycle; encourage native plant species to grow and thrive; and conserve resources, time, and money by not using lawn care equipment. Those participating will be asked to send weekly progress photos to: environmentprotection@mck.ca. (11am)
