Sandy Pines Golf Course/ Pigeon Creek Bufferstrip Project

November 14, 2006 by Shawn McKenney

The Sandy Pine Golf Course Buffer Strip Project included a total of 15,000 native plant plugs and many busy hands planting plugs over a 7 day period in July, 2006. Special thanks to all our volunteers and to Jim Spray and Max Gibbs from the Sandy Pines Resort for all their efforts and their concern for water quality in the Rabbit River. By fall 2007 the golf course will be a great place to see native plants in action and of course a great place for a round of golf!
