Audubon Certification

Over the past few years Concord Country Club has been working along side Audubon International to become a certified member of their Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for golf courses.  This process includes a site assessment, action plan, and documenting and improving stewardship in several important areas.  These areas are wildlife and habitat management, chemical use reduction and safety, water conservation, water quality management, and outreach and education.

It is our goal to continue to meet and exceed the recommendations set forth by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program.  We will continue to improve upon our relationship with our environment by documenting our practices and by taking on projects that makes us a destination for wildlife and the community.

Bird Boxes

Our staff erects a bird nesting box between the 2nd and 16th hole.  This is just one step toward becoming Audubon certified.

Thanksgiving already?

One of our many species of wildlife on the course....turkeys. There favorite spots to hang-out are usually on the 3rd and 4th holes. As a Virginia Tech graduate, these guys always make me smile.

Wildlife on Course

I am sure many of you have seen one or two of these guys around the property. The common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) pictured to the left can be found lying on our pond edges from time to time. They differ from their cousins the alligator snapping turtle (Macrochelys temminckii) from their shell and head structure. This creature is one of many vast, and numerous wildlife species we are fortunate to have here at Concord.
