I live on the cusp between arid grasslands and high desert, in a US county that's in the top 10 for wildfire risk. Nearly everything here is dead and brown now and it's a safety hazard at this point.

But on that note there's a difference between no mow may and going no lawns. No Lawns is more about native plant species and being better for the environment. No mow may is about letting whatever exists grow.
For sure. I don't really have a lawn per se, it's more like 30 acres of wild prairie and sagebrush that grow right up to the house. Does that count? 😜
