As part of Niakwa Country Club’s effort to obtain and retain certification under the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf, the Club has entered into a partnership with Save our Seine River Environment Inc. www.saveourseine.com

Niakwa CC has undertaken three joint projects with Save our Seine.

– River Bank Cleanup – Under its “Summer River Keepers” program, Save our Seine hires a team of students every year to clean up the river and maintain navigability. As part of our partnership Niakwa CC will help fund a team to manage cleanup of the river bank along our property and to remove noxious weeds such as Canada thistle and red canary grass. Since this program is a joint effort of the Turf Team and a Members’ Committee – and is outside the normal operation of the Club we’re asking Members, who have an interest in the environment, for a $100 donation.
In return you’ll get a jar of Natural Wildflower Honey from this fall’s first crop.

– Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary – Daphne and the Niakwa Turf Team have created a half acre Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary. This is a fenced off, protected area with milk weed and other native flowering plants. In addition to support from Save our Seine, promotion of monarch butterfly breeding areas is promoted by a variety of environmental organizations through the “Monarchs in the Rough” program.

– Bee hives – Our Turf Team has purchased bee hives which are set up on our property. Horticulturist, Daphne Stapley, will be extracting, processing and packaging the honey. A $100 donation gets you a jar!
Our honey bees will be doing their work in support of the Save our Seine “Pollination Corridor” – pollinating natural plants and shrubs along the river.
