Audubon International will be featured in two presentations on the main stage of the trade show floor and exhibiting at booth #3535 during the Golf Industry Show Feb. 8-9 in Orlando.
The first presentation Feb. 8 to include Audubon International, titled, “Make Your Golf Course a Home for Birds of Prey” will include a live-bird demonstration by staff from the Avian Reconditioning Center (ARC) in Apopka, Fla. The birds featured will include a red-shouldered hawk, a barn owl, and an American kestrel. “We want to let the public know that golf courses can be fantastic habitat for raptors” says Tara Donadio, director of cooperative sanctuary programs and moderator of the first session. ““Raptors can play a critical role in the ecology of a golf course, and can be an excellent way to get member and community engagement in these important greenspaces. Working with groups like the ARC can provide expanded resources to land managers about the value of these beautiful birds, and has the potential to create lasting habitat for many threatened and endangered species.”
In a separate presentation, also on Feb. 8, Audubon International will discuss its educational outreach offering titled, Children’s Activity Book. This activity book, designed for students of all ages, was developed to provide general awareness about habitat and wildlife on golf courses. The Children’s Activity Book is supported in part by the GCSAA, which has donated its printing in order for the book to be made available to any golf course free of charge.
