NHS Borders Supports "No Mow May"
The motion
That the Parliament notes NHS Borders' support of the “No Mow May” initiative to support biodiversity, which will see grassy areas within the NHS Borders estate allowed to grow without being cut for the month of May 2024; understands that this initiative aims to help to provide a feast for pollinators such as bees and butterflies, tackle pollution, reduce urban heat extremes and lock away atmospheric carbon below ground by encouraging individuals and organisations to forgo grass-cutting for the month; believes that it is important for organisations such as this to take an interest in supporting the natural environment in whatever way is feasible for them, and hopes that others will follow NHS Borders’ example.
