Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the importance of conserving the native plants and wildlife in and around Florida golf courses. "The use of native plants is encouraged, as they blend with the beauty of the course and require less maintenance than manmade landscape settings." Gives the examples of saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) and sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) as ground covers that are beneficial to both golf courses and surrounding wildlife. Also warns against the use of exotics on golf courses. |
