FORGIVE ME, BUT I’M REALLY SURPRISED that your wildlife magazine continues to encourage people to partake in Plantlife’s No Mow May campaign each year due to the harm it can cause. Every garden will have wildlife that lives amongst the plants and in the nooks and crannies of various structures. When people leave their lawns uncut, it is not just the flying pollinators that will be attracted to the new habitat when various flowers appear, but many of the garden’s resident creatures will move into the long grass, too.
It is these creatures that are then destroyed when the mowing resumes once
