| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the First Green Foundation, "an innovative environmental education outreach program that uses golf courses as environmental learning labs." Includes several examples of the program in use at local schools across Washington in which students from area schools tested water quality, sampled soil, and assisted in vegetative planting at local golf courses. Details the development of the program and its potential benefits to schools, teachers, and the community. Notes that the program complements certification in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses, and has its own website allowing courses across the country to apply to develop local programs. |
