| Abstract/Contents: | Describes nest box projects on three golf courses, Baymark Golf in Virginia Beach, VA, Cherry Creek Golf Club in Greensburg, PA, and Lakelands Golf Club on Australia's Gold Coast. Explains how Charles Lange, golf course superintendent at Baymark, "built good community relations right along with the 20 birdhouses he and 22 students from a local elementary school built and mounted last June." Describes a nest box project at Cherry Creek Golf Club "that was lauded by golfers, course homeowners, and the mentally and physically disabled students who spent a day installing the nest boxes and learning about the environment." Discusses a different approach to nest boxes at Lakelands Golf Club in Australia, where the course superintendent, Stephen Marsden, sent a letter to course members inviting them to "Buy a House at Lakelands" (a birdhouse). Explains that "nest boxes have long been a simple tool for inceasing nesting sites for cavity-nesting birds." |
