| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles TPC of Scottsdale, focusing on its installation of an Audubon Garden of native species of trees, cacti, shrubs, and grasses to "raise awareness about our involvement in the ACSP [Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program], improve wildlife habitat, and help our guests learn about and appreciate some of the native plant species found on the course." Discusses how the garden has helped beautify the area, raise curiosity from guests on the Audubon Cooperative Sactuary efforts, and encourage staff to become positively involved with the overall Audubon program. States that "we hope this increased awareness by our staff and guests will be carried off the golf course to the surrounding communities, where greater attention to native plant gardening can help protect the desert landscape that makes this area so unique." |
