Also states potential problems, such as slow play, differing aesthetic opinions, and not meeting golfer expectations concerning course appearance. Provides considerations when starting the naturalization process, including location, plant selection, site preparation, and plant care. Suggests several possible naturalization projects. Also overviews the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program. |
