Don’t Mow Let it Grow Initiative
The “Don’t Mow Let it Grow” initiative encourages Brampton residents and property owners to reduce the frequency of lawn mowing and allow natural vegetation to flourish. This initiative aims to increase biodiversity, improve soil health, and reduce carbon emissions from lawn maintenance equipment.
By allowing grasses and wildflowers to grow naturally, the program creates habitats for pollinators such as bees and butterflies, which are essential for the health of local ecosystems. Additionally, taller grasses and wildflowers can help with stormwater management by reducing runoff and enhancing water infiltration into the soil. The initiative also promotes a shift towards more sustainable landscaping practices, encouraging residents to embrace a more natural and ecologically friendly approach to yard maintenance.
