Greens Department

Audubon Society.

Our club has been a member of the Audubon Society for over ten years and was certified in 2001.
Being a member of the Audubon Society shows a commitment by the club to be involved and
show leadership in environmental issues. It also shows that a golf course can provide good
playing conditions while at the same time enhancing the surrounding natural habitat.

The greens department is continuing to provide new wildlife habitat for animals by installing new
bird boxes, brush piles and no mow areas. Irrigation equipment and practices are continually
monitored to ensure that water is used efficiently and can be reduced as much as possible.
Further environmental audits will be done to ensure the maintenance practices of the club are
having no negative impact on the surrounding water sources and neighbouring properties.
Previous testing done by Environmental Investigations Limited (contact information - Mark Scenna
e. mscenna@sympatico.ca tel. 905-690-8740) have shown positively that the club is not
impacting these areas.

The club will continue to maintain its certification with the Audubon Society and hopes to enhance
the clubs profile by reaching out to local groups and schools to provide a learning centre for
students and youth.
