Lake View superintendent receives environmental certification
Gordon J. Seliga, GCSAA certified golf course superintendent at Lake View Country Club in North East has earned three environmental management specialist certificates from the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) for completing specialization programs in Storage, Disposal and Recycling; Golf Course Development; and Integrated Pest Management.
Because there is a commitment in golf course management to help preserve natural resources through safe chemical handling and establishing recycling practices, the Storage, Disposal and Recycling specialization addresses the need to conserve, maintain and re-use.
Programs in the Golf Course Development specialization addresses issues ranging from environmentally-aware design to wetland and wildlife management on golf courses. Design, pre-construction, construction and renovation are a few of the important topics reviewed in these seminars.
Golf Course superintendents may choose to complete one or more of the EMP specializations, each of which is composed of a series of relevant continuing education seminars. The program is open to all golf course management professionals seeking further environment training and expertise.
