Audubon International reveals new membership spike

Audubon International reported that it recently added nearly 20 new members to its Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for Golf Certification and Green Lodging Certification tracks.

From April 28 to July 28, 11 golf clubs from throughout the United States, as well as one club in Bogota, Colombia, enrolled in the ACSP for Golf Certification program. In the U.S., there are six new members from California and one each from Alabama, Colorado, Hawaii, Missouri and South Carolina.

Amelia Island, Florida, is home to all five new Green Lodging Certification program enrollees. They range from a Comfort Suites to Ritz-Carlton, highlighting the Green Lodging program’s suitability for lodging partners of all sizes and price points.

“We continue to celebrate our 35th anniversary as a leader in implementing, teaching and championing sustainability practices for outdoor spaces including golf courses and indoor spaces such as hotels and corporate buildings,” Audubon International CEO Christine Kane said. “We continue to welcome a steady stream of new enrollees in all of our certification programs, and we invite all operators to join us in planning and implementing a more sustainable future for their businesses, and the planet.”
