Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses provides an advisory service to help existing golf courses develop effective conservation and wildlife enhancement programs. Tis worldwide effort is coordinated by Audubon International and is sponsored in part by the United States Golf Association. “Te open space of a golf course


is utilized not only by golfers, but is habitat for a variety of wildlife species,” explained Jim Sluiter, Staff Ecologist for Audubon International. “We welcome the Refuge Golf and Country Club’s commitment to the environment and to managing the golf course with wildlife in mind.” By joining and participating in the


ACSP, Refuge Golf and Country Club will be involved in projects that enhance habitat for wildlife and preserve natural resources for the benefit of the local community. Tese projects may include: placing nesting boxes for cavity-nesting birds such as bluebirds and swallows, utilizing integrated pest management techniques, conserving water, and maintaining food and cover for wildlife. “Te Audubon Cooperative


Sanctuary Program benefits both people and wildlife.” said Sluiter. “It is a great way for the managers of developed properties and environmental organizations to work together to become better stewards of land and natural resources.” Audubon International is an


environmental organization dedicated to educating, assisting, and inspiring millions of people from all walks of life to protect and sustain the land, water, wildlife, and natural resources around them. In addition to businesses, Audubon International also provides programs for golf courses schools, communities, and new developments.
