Idea to send:	Topic Green Courses Content Golf courses can provide critical elements of habitat for amphibians, fish, mammals, birds, and insects. The use of better management practices, including buffer strips, natural growth and wetlands on golf courses, helps protect wildlife for future generations. Oklahoma should encourage the development of greener golf courses to improve our environment and protect wildlife. As an example: Oklahoma is losing our natural wetlands at a rapid pace, due to agriculture and urban development. While golf courses cannot replace natural wetlands, with certain adjustments, they are able to mimic them and still provide many of the environmental benefits to nature. This can be done partially, for example, by allowing out-of-play areas of the golf course to grow naturally and allow green space around the ponds. It's a win-win for Oklahoma and our golf courses.
