The EU's Nature Restoration Law is a done deal. And what does this mean for golf?  ⏺ First of all, a Europe-wide objective is to restore natural areas. Golf can score points in this area. On countless #golf courses in Europe, the enhancement of areas has long been part of the approval process for golf courses that are being built on disused farmland, gravel pits or other commercial areas, for example.  ⏺ Golf has long been committed to increasing #biodiversity and the number of #pollinators. From small piles of dead wood to large, species-rich meadows, alternating wetlands or heathlands, the golf sector is involved in enhancement measures in many areas.  ⏺ The legal requirements for construction or redesign could become stricter - depending on the countries' national requirements. This means that addressing the issue of "extensive areas" on golf courses is a must and its importance should not be underestimated.  ⏺ And: the selection of land for the construction of new golf courses will be scrutinised even more closely. The discussion about the necessity of golf courses in unspoilt natural landscapes, which we all know from skiing, will become even more heated. Golf will have to face the question as to where the construction of golf courses is actually justified.  ⏭ To summarise, by looking at the landscapes created or preserved beyond fairways and greens, golf can take a deep breath. In the second instance, however, it must also recognise this: The critical view of the activities of this leisure industry will not become any milder. P.S. The picture below was taken yesterday at St.Eurach Land & Golfclub beside the 18th green. #sport #nachhaltigkeit #sustainability

What are your thoughts on this? I have seen lodging fees come up before but I am always a little skeptical of the ones that help fund county park and rec programs, like building new rec centers and, in some instances, even paying for RV park improvements that counties may own. #wcm #woodallscm #outdoorindustry #outdoorrecreation #outdoorhospitality #rvparks #rving #campgrounds #camping #glamping

This should be an interesting webinar as the Canadian Camping and RV Association aims to help Canadian parks navigate municipal challenges.

SUMTER ITEM Commentary: Power of our collective heritage and Super Bowl of Steeplechase Posted Saturday, September 28, 2024 6:00 am By Tom Mullikin On Sunday, Nov. 17, the "Super Bowl" of Steeplechase will return to the internationally renowned Springdale racecourse in Camden. This is a key component of the Palmetto State's heritage. For pricing, tickets, a great map and much more, visit https://lnkd.in/ejzABGXK. From the earliest days, South Carolina has been known for its beautiful nature and environment. In his inaugural address in 2023, Gov. Henry McMaster shared portions of a report dated June 9, 1739, and addressed to "His Excellency James Glen Esq. Capt. General, Governor, and Commander in Chief in and over his Majesty's province of South Carolina." The report, published according to an Act of Parliament by B. Roberts & W.H. Toms, reads in part: "The Climate of Carolina is extremely agreeable & wholesome & may well be looked upon as the most temperate part of the habitable Earth. (I)t is the fairest & most fruitful Province belonging to Great Britain." Globally, tourism is nearly a $7 trillion industry, and here in South Carolina at $29 billion, it is our leading industry. Ecotourism is now responsible for 25% of the sector, and it is the fastest growing. Many areas of South Carolina are discovering that ecotourism is as great an economic driver as new manufacturers. As the oldest inland city in South Carolina, Camden has experienced an equally interesting and robust economic renaissance through its important history and its beautiful outdoors, including the Wateree River, trails - including a relatively new spur of the famed Palmetto Trail, state park and lake. But the cornerstone of its economic revitalization is its internationally renowned equestrian community. From the early days of the First Americans, Camden has provided ecosystems for one of the most powerful tribes of central South Carolina. Some of the state's oldest prehistoric sites are in Kershaw County, including mounds, rock shelters and Paleo-Indian artifacts. The massive Native American settlement of Cofitachiqui, with its temple mound capital outside Camden, drew to our lush lands explorers like Hernando de Soto in 1540, Captain Juan Pardo in 1566 and 1568 and the Englishman Henry Woodward in 1670. Former U.S. presidents have also ridden their horses through the streets of Camden, including a young Andrew Jackson, a member of the historic S.C. State Guard, as well as the great outdoorsman and adventurer Theodore Roosevelt. It is these significant historical moments, locations and activities that we seek to preserve by bringing back the internationally acclaimed Colonial Cup. Together in South Carolina we need to work to protect our ecology, our economy and our heritage. Please join us for the return of this great race on Sunday, Nov. 17, and enjoy a small but important slice of what makes our state great.
