Certification
Efforts
Currently, Mark McKinley, the Polo Field's
Golf Course Superintendent, is completing a Site Assessment and Environmental
Plan provided by Audubon International. Based on the results of the
initial assessment, stewardship projects are chosen and implemented.
Once projects are implemented, Mark will evaluate their progress and
document their results.
A committee has been formed in an effort
to assist Mark with this project. Documentation is a large part of this
project and it takes a great deal of time. If you are interested in
joining the committee, please contact Mark McKinley at (734) 998-1555.
The committee meets approximately every 2 months.
The web site you are currently viewing,
a Flickr photo pool and a blog have been created as a means of communicating
during this project. The links are provided above. Flickr is a free
site that lets you upload photos to a folder or photo pool. Anyone can
request permission to join the photo pool. This is a great way to get
all of our photos in one location. Please remember that we need the
following with each photo: the date the photo was taken, the time, the
location on the course, and if possible - the species of the bird. Visit
the Flickr site for more information.
The blog is a central location for communicating
electronically. Anyone can join this free site and start communicating
about the golf course, sightings, environment, wildlife or anything
that may pertain to this project. Please note that any information or
photos gathered from these sites may be used when applying for certification.
