| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "golf courses, like most outdoor recreation facilities, can be highly compatible with restoring and maintaining natural stream corridors." Explains that removing trees and shrubs from a stream corridor "opens the door for severe erosion of the streambank soils." Suggests that "streambanks can be maintained with vegetation and/or 'hard' materials which simultaneously promote a natural ecosystem and allow for the activities on a golf course." Explains that "although 'hard materials' such as rocks and rootwads are needed on high-velocity streams, vegetation alone can be utilized on slow-moving waterways." States that "many landscape architects are knowledgable with riparian corridor planting that can compliment a golf course." |
