The concept of “No Mow May’’ is a very short-term solution to the very long-term problem of pollinator decline (“Turf Wars Grow Over Lawn Care,” Page One, April 29). Plants need time to grow, and pollinators need food and shelter from early spring to late fall.
Like Doug Tallamy, the University of Delaware professor, I believe that a better solution is to turn a portion of the yard into a dedicated natural area for native prairie plants. This idea has been advocated for years by the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Ill., as well as national organizations.
