Operation Pollinator is designed to enhance the ecological value
of selected areas of the golf course. It is not intended to replace
or in any way adversely affect existing areas of ecological
resources or environmental initiatives. A full assessment of
existing flora and fauna is recommended before commencing Operation
Pollinator establishment.
Where a golf course is covered by a Site of Special Scientific
Interest (SSSI) any management action, including measures to
introduce Operation Pollinator, must only be undertaken in
conjunction with the management agreement and with the prior
consent of the managing body. The managing body will be
Natural England, Scottish Natural Heritage or the Countryside
Council for Wales - according to where you are
located.
In some instances, depending on the extent and the purpose of
the SSSI designation, it may still be possible to incorporate
Operation Pollinator, but only with the express approval of the
appointed SSSI manager.
