their speciality and we have ours, so let’s just work together. Professionals who say that they don’t have the time to carry out environmental work on their site need to have a look at themselves and their time management. How long does it take to make a log pile and, as a result, a valuable habitat for insects? We have all had to fell a dead tree, cross cut it and process it - now you just need to stack it somewhere on site and, bingo, you are on ecology road. It really is that easy, and it doesn’t have any major financial implications or drain resources in any way.
Some cost effective ways of
increasing the overall ecological value of your site are as simple as erecting a few bird boxes made in-house, holding all green waste - plus any cardboard box deliveries - in an allocated area for composting, which can later be reused for construction projects, laying an old sheet of

corrugated iron in a wooded area which will provide an ideal place for snakes to hibernate under, or simply reusing hollow cores for other areas of turf establishment. A lot of us are doing the
environmental work from day to day without realising it, but, like everything else, much more can be done without breaking the bank. When managing a golf course, one has to try to appeal to all of the golfer’s senses; plantings and flora grabbing ones’ sense of smell, touch and sight; the aesthetic value of the chalkland roughs swaying in the breeze; the sounds of small birds going about their business and, perhaps, an opportunist kestrel patrolling the sky above. To work in such an
environment and play a part in it, is truly magical. The rewards far exceed any workload or daily issues.
