No Mow Zones
No mowing zones are beneficial for a number of reasons:
- Returns areas back to their natural state
- Allows for the opportunity of reforestation
- Provides flowers for pollinators
- Provides habitats for insects, birds, and other animals
- Slows storm runoff, reduces erosion, and reduces pollution
- Reduce energy and fossil fuel use and cuts CO2 emissions
Keep an eye our for our No Mow Zone signs across the county.
