No Mow May 2025
TU Dublin's campus environment has sprung to life with the buzzing insects, chirping birds and blooming flora that comes with the summer season.
Supporting biodiversity and protecting our campus environment is an integral part of TU Dublin's Sustainability Strategy and Climate Action Roadmap. The University Campus & Estates team, along with contractors, manage the 115 acres of land across campuses according to the seasons. Starting from May, grass and flower species are allowed grow to support biodiversity and the All Ireland Pollinator Plan's No Mow May campaign.
By allowing grassy meadows and patches to grow, our campus environment can create a habitat for wildlife to thrive, promoting a healthy ecosystem that supports biodiversity and benefits TU Dublin's neighbouring communities.
The perimeter of grassy meadows and along pathways are mowed for safety and access, and some green spaces which host special species, such as clover, are cut to allow those species to thrive.
Highlighted in pink on map below are areas of the Grangegorman campus which will be maintained during May and throughout the summer, as required for public amenity, for maintenance, and to promote clover growth. All other grassy areas of the Grangegorman campus will be allowed to grow and a 1-to-2-meter mowed edging with be maintained along roads, paths and walkways.
TU Dublin students, staff, and members of our local community are encouraged to explore our campuses during the summer season and enjoy the diverse natural landscapes that make our campuses unique. Share using #TUDublinSustainability on social media.
