EAGLE CREEK GOLF CLUB and PHASE 1 OF THE COMMUNITY BECOME CERTIFIED SIGNATURE SANCTUARY’S BY AUDUBON INTERNATIONAL

Orlando, Florida - - Eagle Creek Golf Club and Phase 1 of the Community has recently been designated a Certified Silver Audubon International Signature Sanctuary in Florida after demonstrating a commitment to the design and implementation of strict environmental criteria. Signature certification is awarded only to new developments which are designed, constructed, and maintained according to Audubon International’s planning and environmental standards. At Eagle Creek, the goal of integrating people and nature in sustainable ways on the property was accomplished by setting three primary goals for the design. The first was to preserve a portion of the property in its natural condition to support the pre-development complement of species and ecosystems. The second was to provide for the non-intrusive use of the natural ecosystems for passive recreation and wildlife viewing. The third is to integrate native plantings and wildlife habitat into the human centered parts of the project, in order to make them a typical part of the experience of the people living, working, and playing on the property.
