"Across Canada and the U.S., a growing number of shuttered #golf courses are being rewilded.

"At least four courses in California, and a handful of others in the U.S., U.K. and Australia, have been bought by non-profits, cities or land trusts and turned into #nature preserves or #parks in recent years, leading to an increase in #wildlife sightings, plant species and tree cover."

When Golf Courses Go Wild

How non-profits, trusts and cities are converting manicured greens into places where wildlife, plants and people can flourish.

@rewildingmag

Thank you for publishing great news.

@rewildingmag
Good news. Next: designate gc's as available parking spots for tiny houses.

Golf courses drove up land prices, contributing to the housing crisis. Let's make room for the wild & humans.

@canusfeminacanis @rewildingmag Golf courses are an ecological crime.

@BackFromTheDud @rewildingmag

Not all. But most are a waste of space.

@rewildingmag
That is a freaking great idea!
@rewildingmag
People could guerilla rewild Trump golf courses with native thistle , bunch grass , and blackberry species, I wonder what native species grow prolifically in Florida?

@Coho @rewildingmag

Carl Hiassen and Skink should be in charge of rewilding orange wookiee hole courses in florida. They would know just how to fo it.

@Coho @rewildingmag Hmmm, I understand Japanese knotweed is a difficult invasive plant to get rid of.
@Fud4thort @rewildingmag
We do not want to introduce alien invasive anywhere. Better to use things native to the area
@rewildingmag Good. Golf is a terrible waste of space.
@rewildingmag I've been to one in Cleveland a few times. It's absolutely beautiful, and I always get a wide variety of birds on the Merlin Bird Id app. It's rewilding the people too.

@rewildingmag

I hear trump's ex wife's grave at Bedminster is being rewilded.
