| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the importance of creating corridors connecting habitat patches on golf courses, explaining that "when patches become too small, existing wildlife populations can go extinct." Explains that animals prefer to travel along habitat corridors rather than cross clearings or other obstacles, and that "even species that live in open habitats use habitat corridors for travel." Discusses the size of corridors, stating that "each species of animal has its own requirements. We recommend that corridors be made as wide and tall as possible." Describes the most common obstacle to corridors, which are roads and cart paths. Suggests either not having roads in wildlife habitats or placing a roadway on a bridge over the corridor. States that "every place serves as home to some sort of wildlife, if only insects or other very small animals. The goal is to connect the vegetated and naturalized areas of each property with corridors that are as wide, as much like the habitat being connected, and as continuous as possible." |
