Golf Course Wetland Monitoring

Environmental staff assists the MPRB golf courses in water and vegetation monitoring.  Courses include Wirth, Meadowbrook, Columbia, Hiawatha and Gross.  Physical and chemical parameters are collected and taken to a lab for analysis.  A visual survey of aquatic and wetland vegetation is conducted at each site.  Wetland monitoring at MPRB golf courses is part of their Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary Program certification.
