Organic Golf Course
With their massive water requirements and heavy use fertilizers and pesticides, golf courses have long been an environmental blight on the landscape.
But now New Malton Golf Course in Cambridgeshire is about to score an eco hole in one by becoming the UK's first organic golf club. The 18-hole course boasts a full time resident ecologist and has been chemical-free for a year, helping native populations of woodpeckers, kestrels, owls and pheasants.
The owners plan to graze animals on the land and tend their greens with citric acid and sugar.
