The Royal Oak City Commission voted in May 2022 and again in 2023 and 2024 to support NO MOW MAY. The NO MOW MAY movement's goal is to allow grass (and dandelions) to grow to help pollinators with habitats and increase the number of bees!
Reducing mowing also saves water and helps your lawn resist draught. Learn more.
The commission was encouraged by the Bee Tweens - a group of nine middle schoolers who live in Royal Oak and are passionate about protecting the environment and taking action to help our pollinators. They have been working since the summer of 2021 to educate Royal Oak residents and decision-makers about the benefits of pollinators and how they can help.
