Tree Preservation Grant Opportunity
Turfgrass may be the primary focus for the golf course superintendent when it comes to the courses they manage. Trees on the golf course also play an important role, but for a number of reasons may face neglect and deteriorating health conditions. In celebration of Arbor Month, General Tree Service has established a tree preservation grant program to benefit individuals and companies that may need assistance in preserving a valuable and irreplaceable tree(s).
Superintendent in the News
In February, Heron Lakes Golf Course was recognized for environmental excellence and is now in their 21st year as a “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” through the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses. OGCSA Superintendent member, Jesse Goodling, led the effort and completed the requirements to maintain his courses designation. Great job!!!
