Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program (ACSP) for Golf Courses, a project initiated in 1991 to "enhance wildlife habitats on golf courses by working with the golf course superintendent and providing advice for ecologically sound course management." Reports that as of 2010, "2,265 golf courses in 32 countries participate in the ACSP for Golf Courses. More than 80% of those enrolled have developed an environmental plan to guide management of the golf course and more than 800 have achieved certification for their outstanding best practices." Provides statistics with regard to chemical safety, registered acreage, environmental planning, pond naturalization, and water conservation. Concludes that the ACSP for Golf Courses plans to continue "[to] educate the public and golfing community about the benefits of golf courses and the role they play relative to the environment and wildlife." |
