Abstract/Contents: | Discusses environmental sustainability on golf courses during times of economic downturn, noting the work of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program (ACSP). Reports that "golf courses working through the ACSP have been able to convert an average of 22 acres of land from heavily managed turfgrass to less-managed natural areas for wildlife." Highlights research conducted by the ACSP to determine fiscal and operational benefits from environmentally sustainable projects on golf courses, stating that "out of of 319 environmental projects, 55% [percent] were identified by the members to have led to cost savings." Suggests that voluntary environmental projects through the ACSP may lead to cost reduction, mitigated risk, higher membership, and less water use. |
