Ocean Pines is becoming a member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program. What is that?
The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses is sponsored by the Audubon International and the USGA. The program is designed to preserve and enhance the wildlife habitat on golf courses. There is also an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Schools partnered by GCSAA and Rain Bird Golf Irrigation. This program pairs superintendents with educational institution for the purpose of creating environmental stewardship programs at schools such as recycling, wildlife habitats, conservation, etc. This program also includes school field trips to the golf course to experience first hand environmental programs.
