Do you plan to participate in ’No or Low Mow May’ to help pollinators in St. Lawrence County?

For the month of May, residents of the Village of Canton are encouraged to relax and watch the grass grow. No or Low Mow May is the name of a practice many communities are adopting to help our pollinators. Pollinators such as bees, butterflies and other creatures are essential to the ecosystem and provide critical pollination services to over 180,000 different plant species and more than 1200 crops. Do you plan to participate in ’No or Low Mow May’ to help pollinators in St. Lawrence County?
