Pictured here are some of the more recent course projects funded by Skidaway Audubon. Working with the superintendents on the courses, the areas to be planted are prioritized. Site reviews follow with members of Skidaway Audubon, Caryl Warner and George Word, and native plant researchers Linda Sue Babcock and Nancy Crawford, to determine the scope of the project and best plants for the conditions.
Although not pictured, our newest project is Oakride 17, visable from both the green on the course and from Waterside Road. Drip irrigation has been provided to the area, water being critical during the few seasons it takes for even native plants to become established. The plants that have been installed include: three red bud and three fringe trees, six beauty berries, three liatris spicata (dense blazing star), seven old fashioned ageratum.
Funds for these on-course projects come from the players, hole sponsors and donors at the annual Skidaway Audubon Golf Tournament. Over the course of the 12 years the tournament has been played, it has raised more than $150,000.
