wildlife management on urban golf courses: the case of the ottawa hunt and golf club
abstract
urban development has put increasing pressure on public greenspaces and the local
wildlife populations encompassing them. golf courses are an accessible way for the public to
view the natural environment and wildlife within the limits of urban boundaries. the purpose of
this thesis is to explore the environmental impacts of golf courses on urban wildlife and the
relationship between the public among a few golf courses. audubon international is an
environmental group focused on preserving the natural environment while incorporating the
heritage of the game of golf. the ottawa hunt and golf club is a certified course within this
organization and has provided the urban community with multiple initiatives for protecting and
promoting wildlife, water quality and conservation through outreach and education opportunities.
