Audubon Certified Sanctuary Golf Courses
Audubon Internationals
Version
of Florida Golf Course Living
Florida
golf course owners are being asked to do their part to protect
wildlife habitat in the Sunshine State. Here is an
updated list of all the Florida golf courses that have been certified
as wildlife sanctuaries by Audubon International as of 11/1/2009.
Make sure your golf course is a great place to live for both
people and wildlife. All of the lucky animals pictured here enjoy
Florida golf course living.
The Audubon Signature
Program provides comprehensive
environmental planning assistance to new developments. The program
helps landowners and developers design for the environment so
that both economic and environmental objectives are achieved.
Once construction is complete, involvement in an Audubon Signature
Program ensures that managers routinely apply sustainable resource
management practices in the long-term stewardship of the property. |
This otter lives on a Florida golf course with a conscientious
superintendent, that is careful not to poison his habitat with
runoff water contaminated with chemicals. |

The Audubon Cooperative
Sanctuary Program (ACSP)
is an education and certification program that helps golf courses
protect the environment while enhancing their bottom line. The
"plan-do-check-act" approach of the program offers
information and guidance to implement an environmental management
plan that improves efficiency, conserves resources, and promotes
conservation efforts. Audubon International awards certification
to publicly recognize and reward the environmental achievements
and leadership of ACSP members.
