For biodiversity, creatures need corridors of habitat where they can have breeding success and not get hit by cars etc.etc. This could be a step toward that to fight the increasing fragmentation of the environment as human pop explodes.

Many #golf courses include small urban #forests and lots of #wildlife. Otherwise those areas may become apartments or shopping malls. Watched it happpen where courses close.

What a kitschy fairy tale! Where will all this #biodiversity suddenly come from, when the surrounding countryside is either sealed or poison-soaked monocultures & the groundwater saturated with pesticides & nitrate, if its level is even sufficient? From primeval slime?鈥擠ream on!
