In the industry category of the Environmental Leader of the Year awards, Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro secured the honor now that all six of the facility’s courses have achieved designation as Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuaries. “Reynolds Plantation has shown a strong commitment to its environmental program. They are to be commended for their efforts to provide a sanctuary for wildlife on the golf course properties,” says Joellen Lampman, Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary programs director.
To reach certification, a course must demonstrate a high degree of environmental quality in areas including environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, outreach and education, reduced and safe chemical use, water conservation and water quality management. Receiving the award for Reynolds Plantation were golf course superintendents Lane Singleton, Hoyt Ellspermann, Lee Byce and Brad DiMascio.
