Tam O'Shanter of Pennsylvania
AN ECO-FRIENDLY GOLF COURSE
AUDUBON COOPERATIVE SANCTUARY SYSTEM
Tam O'Shanter has qualified for membership in the Audubon
Cooperative Sanctuary System. This establishes our commitment to
preserving the quality of our environment through projects such as
enhancing wildlife habitats, conducting wildlife surveys, and
mounting and monitory nest boxes. We also use integrated pest
management (IPM) which employs natural pest management techniques
to reduce the amount of pesticides used.
Nature Trail signs are located on each tee, and describe the
natural environment that surrounds you as you enjoy your round of
golf. We hope these signs help you to become more aware of the
environment of our part of northwestern Pennsylvania.
