Join the Buzz at BTME - Workshop Invitation

Operation Pollinator Workshop with Bob Taylor, STRI Head of Ecology

and Dr Simon Watson, Syngenta Technical Manager

BTME, Harrogate - The Queen's Suite
Wednesday, 25^th January at 3.30pm

- Learn new techniques - Share experiences - Get practical tips and advice - See what it could do for you?

Improving the ecological value of your golf course for pollinating insects creates an incredible opportunity to enhance the overall playing experience. Combining an attractive environment with exceptional playing surfaces can entice more players to your course - and the all-important income they bring.

All greenkeepers, course managers and golf club secretaries who are passionate about the ecology on their course, and want to take positive action to create an attractive and valuable environment in which to play, are welcome to attend the free Operation Pollinator update meeting at BTME. 

The open meeting aims to share the experiences and to develop a network of those already engaged in Operation Pollinator and environmental projects for the successful creation of wildflower areas. It will build on the valuable insight into the opportunities and techniques provided at a series of free workshops over the summer.

The more clubs we get involved with Operation Pollinator, the better for the future of ecology on the course, and the better for the whole golf industry.  

Golf clubs that sign-up to join Operation Pollinator on Syngenta stand B38b at BTME will also receive a free Guide to Bees of UK and Ireland wall poster (below, right). The extra-large full colour poster is designed to hang in the clubhouse, to give members and players an indication of what they can look out for around the course.
