Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program

For those of you who aren’t aware, Shadow Hills Country Club is a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary golf course.   At the time our facility was awarded this achievement in May of 2016, there were only 19 golf courses in the state of Oregon to hold this designation.  To become certified with the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program (ACSP), one must demonstrate and document efforts in the following categories:

1.) Wildlife and habitat management.

2.) Chemical use reduction and safety.

3.) Water conservation.

4.) Water quality management.

5.) Environmental Planning.

6.) Outreach and education.

Our goal in achieving certification with the ACSP was to improve our management of the property in an environmentally friendly manner.  This effort was led by Assistant Superintendent, Jake Witherspoon.
