Nature Reclaims Abandoned Golf Courses Worldwide

Abandoned golf courses are being repurposed and rewilded by conservation nonprofits and local authorities, providing opportunities to boost biodiversity and combat climate change. Organizations like The Trust for Public Land (TPL) are acquiring former golf courses and restoring them to their natural state, creating habitats for endangered species and improving water flow. Similar initiatives are taking place in the UK, where golf courses are being transformed into woodlands and nature reserves. These efforts highlight the potential of repurposing golf courses to create more sustainable and ecologically diverse landscapes.
