EVERY GOLF COURSE A BIRD-SANCTUARY 



The majority of Golf Courses in this country are ideally 

 situated for giving sanctuary to birds at but little expense to the 

 Club and with wo inconvenience to the game. 



A Golf Course that includes a small woodlot or group of 

 trees where elderberries or dogwoods are encouraged to grow; 

 that permits a few thorn-apples or flowering crabs to remain in 

 the rough, with a mulberry tree or hackberry here and there; 

 that has a dead tree or two or some dead branches or fence-posts 

 for the Woodpeckers and other hole-nesting species, and that 

 has a spring or a water-hazard somewhere within flying dis- 

 tance, is an ideal bird-sanctuary. Those that are lacking in any 

 of these features can provide, with comparatively little expense, 

 substitutes that will be equally attractive and, in a compar- 

 atively short time, build up a bird-population that will rival 

 that of any bird-sanctuary in the country. 



Realizing the natural adaptability of the Golf Course to 

 the requirements of a bird-sanctuary, and largely in response 

 to requests for further information and assistance from the 

 officers of over one hundred Golf Clubs, the following pam- 

 phlet has been prepared. It is intended to show in as graphic 

 a manner as possible the desirability of encouraging birds about 

 Golf Courses and the simple way by which the happy results 

 may be attained.
