New Jersey National Golf Club has received certification in Environmental Planning from the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System (ACSS), an international program administered by Audubon International designed to help landowners preserve and enhance the environmental quality of their property.
The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for golf courses provides an advisory service to help existing golf courses develop effective conservation and wildlife enhancement programs. This worldwide effort is coordinated by Audubon International and is sponsored in part by the United States Golf Association.
To achieve Audubon certification, golf courses must demonstrate a commitment to high standards of environmental management including environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, integrated pest management, water conservation, water quality management, and outreach and education.
By joining and participating in the ACSS, New Jersey National will be involved in projects that enhance habitat for wildlife and preserve natural resources for the benefit of the local community.
