Golf courses have a positive impact on nature through sustainable management. They provide habitats for various species of animals and plants, serving as refuge for birds, small mammals and insects. They help prevent erosion and improve water infiltration into the subsoil.
Green areas act like sponges, absorbing rainwater and reducing the risk of flooding. The creation of lakes has a very significant environmental impact, in a very positive way that goes beyond the aesthetic. They are a strategic water reserve used to collect rainwater for irrigating fields, reducing dependence on external sources. They also serve as a refuge for local and migratory wildlife. As natural filters, they help to moderate the local temperature, creating a cool and pleasant microclimate with unbeatable air quality. Golf courses reduce the heat island effect, offering opportunities for recreation, contact with nature and personal well-being. Because they have such a variety of animal and plant species, they contribute to local biodiversity and prevent soil erosion with adequate drainage structures for water infiltration, recharging underground aquifers, which is especially important for maintaining the field. Furthermore, as they are large expanses of grass and vegetation, they absorb CO2 through photosynthesis and help to mitigate the greenhouse effect.
At ecaart we are committed to adopting sustainable management practices, such as using efficient irrigation systems in our lakes, reducing the use of fertilizers and pesticides, and using electric machines to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
