Golf Course Sustainability Resources

The New York State Pollution Prevention Institute (NYSP2I) and Cornell have partnered to launch an initiative to develop best practices for golf courses regarding the use of water resources and discharge of nutrients and chemical pesticides, aimed at the 200+ golf courses in Western and Central NY.

With help from Cornell, NYSP2I will work with golf courses to become more sustainable by providing educational materials and technical assistance. Informational webinars, podcasts, and on-site technical assistance videos will be made available throughout 2022, and some funding opportunities may be available to help implement these best practices.
