Supporting the Audubon Project
2025 – 2026
Your generous donation will help to support the Friends of Pusch Ridge Golf (FOPRG) iand it's mission to become certified as as an Audubon Certified Sanctuary Program (ACSP) for Golf Courses.
This mission efforts focuse on protecting the environment, preserving the natural heritage of golf, promoting environmental sustainability, and gaining recognition for those efforts, all goals set by the ACSP.
FOPRG is working closely with the courses manager, El Conquistador Golf and the Town of Oro Valley to meet the needs of the certification process. which could take up three years to complete.
Project work began in October 2025 and continues to this day.
To meet the requirements of the certification, the course needs to adopt management practices in each of these six (6) areas:
-
Site Assessment & Environmental Planning
-
Wildlife and Habitat Management
-
Chemical Use Reduction and Safety
-
Water Conservation
-
Water Quality Management
-
Outreach and Education
These projects take funding. Many golf course neighbors contributed by purchasing bird nest boxes to be put around the course, and many made financial donations. Others donated their time and talent, taking on some of the necessary tasks to achieve certification.
Tax-deductible donations of any amount help, and if you wish to volunteer your time and effort, please send an email to: puschaudubon@gmail.com.
