Worcestershire Wildlife Trust say 'No Mow May' can help animals and plants to flourish
Charity Plantlife are urging people to only mow their lawn once this May
People with lawns in Herefordshire and Worcestershire are being urged not to mow them more than once this month, in an attempt to build back up some of the area's wildlife.
Wildlife charity Plantlife say 'No Mow May' can make a big difference to ecosystems during a challenging time with the climate.
The conservation organisation has also warned around 97% of wildflower meadows have been lost in less than a century.
Shauna McLaren from Worcestershire Wildlife Trust says allowing the grass to grow can make perfect habitats for animals.
She said: "We often have this preference for really tidy and pristine lawns, but the reality is that doesn't provide a lot of value for the wildlife in your local area.
"By just leaving the grass longer, you'll get to benefit some of the wildflowers that come through, as well as creating a habitat for creatures to live.
"It's also important that there's a balance to this, because we still want short areas of grass to be available for animals who prefer that to it being long."
Plantlife say by having longer grass, it could make a significant impact, even if it is just a small patch of lawn.
