Why this petition matters

Started by Kate Olsen

Did you know:

  • Monarch Butterflies are an endangered species.
  • Pollinator (bees, butterflies, etc.) populations worldwide have been dropping up to 95%.
  • Milkweed and Dandelions are essential for pollinators to survive.
  • Dandelions also help bring essential nutrients to surrounding plants, aerate the soil, and prevent erosion.

 


What can we in Rockland Do?

  • Embrace no Mow May – this leads to a 500% increase in pollinators and 300% increase in species variety.
  • Remove Milkweed and Dandelions from the banned plant list - these are crucial to pollinators, especially in the early spring when many flowers haven’t bloomed yet.

 

Please consider signing my petition and attending the next board meeting to show your support.
