In Your Opinion: ‘Save The Mow Till Earth Day’ Deemed A Success

From the Franklin Township Environmental Commission.

Earlier this year, the Franklin Township Environmental Commission launched the Save the Mow Till Earth Day (SMTED) campaign to raise awareness of the importance of pollinators in our ecosystem and agriculture. Residents were asked to delay their first mowing until April 22nd, Earth Day. Delaying the first mow allows various beneficial flowers to bloom, providing necessary nectar for hungry pollinators waking up from their winter hibernation. The campaign was joined by the Township and even by Somerset County. The commission has received dozens of photos from its residents documenting the SMTED campaign.

The Franklin Township Environmental Commission would like to thank all residents, township employees and Somerset County for joining the campaign and doing their part of making our environment better for all of us.
