The Bay Club’s Newest Initiative: Bay Club Conservancy
The Bay Club has been a member of the Audubon International “Signature Sanctuary Program” since its opening in 2004 and is one of only two certified sanctuary golf courses in the state; and the only one with a “Silver” status. The Club and it’s members are proud of this certification and hope to continue it well into the future.
For this reason, in recent months a group of dedicated members have formed the Bay Club Conservancy (BCC), with their goal being to maintain and improve upon our wildlife environment and help inform fellow members of their efforts.
The initial work by the BCC will be to focus on our bees, birds and butterflies. The Club grounds are currently home to honeybee hives, found on hole #11. And in August 2020, a monarch “waystation” was created to help our monarch population flourish, from the egg through butterfly stages. (More information on these initiatives can be read in previous blog entries, found here.)
We’re excited to see what more will come from the conscious and concerted efforts of the BCC!
