In
addition to providing outstanding golfing facilities, Stevinson Ranch
provides habitat for over 80 species of birds including the Great Blue
Heron and other animals like the Coyote.
With a primary focus on sustainability, Stevinson
Ranch is a fine example of exceptional commitment to the environment.
In 1996 the Savannah Course became the fourth golf course in the world
to receive the coveted Audubon International
Signature designation. With strict adherence to energy efficiency,
water conservation, waste management, habitat enhancement and wildlife
conservation, its no wonder this property is a model of sustainable
development.
Currently, there are nesting boxes for owls, bats,
wood ducks and birds on the course. These are regularly monitored to
ensure there are no decreases in numbers of nests or species. As a
result of attention to habitat enhancement, three new species of birds
have been identified since the course opened in September 1995.
