	Tools: Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses (ACSP-Golf) is an award winning education and certification program that helps golf courses protect our environment and preserve the natural heritage of the game of golf. The program helps golf officials enhance the valuable natural areas and wildlife habitats that golf courses provide, improve efficiency, and minimize potentially harmful impacts of golf operations. Audubon Signature Programs The Audubon Signature Programs provide environmental planning assistance to new developments. The programs help landowners including golf courses and developers design for the environment so that both economic and environmental objectives are achieved. Once construction is complete, involvement in an Audubon Signature Program ensures that managers apply sustainable resource management practices in the long-term stewardship of the property.
