Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program
Blackthorn Club is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Programs promote ecologically sound land management and the conservation of natural resources through education and certification programs that are tailored to a diversity of land uses within communities, including: homes, corporate and business properties, golf courses, cemeteries, schools, universities, residential communities, and other types of properties and land uses. Participation helps people plan, organize, implement, and document a comprehensive environmental management program and receive recognition for their efforts.
The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Programs (ACSP) emphasize six core areas.
- Planning for Success
- Conserving and Protecting Water
- Reducing Waste
- Enhancing and Protecting Wildlife and their Habitats
- Resource Conservation
- Reaching Out
