Golf courses contain large areas that remain out-of-play and often unmanaged, providing habitat for plants and insects. These areas can be valuable for restoring populations of wildlife that help pollinate the surrounding plant life. Native pollinators, including native bees, butterflies and moths, have been on the decline in the last ten years. This project aims to develop better information on native plant pollinator habitat restoration.
