From #Fairways to #FairUse: Repurposing #GolfCourses
How golf courses can be repurposed to meet the needs of people and planet
Autumn 2024
by Grace Crabtree & Dan Woolley"Back in April 2020, shortly after the UK had gone into lockdown for the first time, Guy Shrubsole, the campaigner and author of Who Owns England (2019), set out to map and investigate London’s golf courses. While a natural continuation of his wider work on land ownership, it was also given particular urgency in the moment – not least for those living in densely populated cities – as the nation began to ask questions about use of, and access to, #GreenSpace.
"The results of this research produced some surprising findings. For example, although a considerable number of golf courses in Greater London are held in private ownership, the figure is less than half, at 45%. This turns out to be only slightly larger than the number owned by councils (42%). After several decades in which councils, schools, and other public institutions have been forced to sell off green space – including school playing fields and county farms – it seems pertinent to ask why so many golf courses have remained untouched.
"Happily, there are signs of progress. In #Cheshire, the #WoodlandTrust recently purchased a former golf course, and have been busy planting trees. The vision is for the site to 'develop as native broadleaf woodland' and to link with other woodland sites as part of the larger #NorthernForest, providing green space and fighting #ClimateChange.
"And further east, on the #Lincolnshire coast, the #NationalTrust is busy converting a disused golf course – #Sandilands – to 'create new habitats for a variety of #wildlife, especially migrating birds like black-tailed #godwit, spotted #redshank and #spoonbills, along with breeding birds such as #snipe, #lapwings and #oystercatchers' This environmental mission is coupled with the social objective of providing 'a space where everyone can enjoy the benefits of being in nature.'
"More controversially, perhaps, the London-based architecture firm #RCKa has developed a proposal to build housing on an existing golf course in #Enfield, at the northern end of the city. Understandably, not everyone agrees with this vision, arguing that green space, once built upon, is lost forever. However, faced with an acute and growing housing crisis, it may be useful to ask whether some compromise solutions might begin to develop at the edges. [Yes, like housing with LOTS of Green Space, including #CommunityGardens , #FoodForests , and #WildlifeCorridors ! Problem solved!]
"What the above examples demonstrate is a growing interest in the potential for repurposing golf courses, for reasons ranging from climate change mitigation and biodiversity benefits, to providing space for housing and food growing.
"Which brings us to #Glasgow, where the #GlasgowCommunityFoodNetwork (#GCFN) are leading on a proposal to transform a disused golf course into a food growing space, with much of the land restored as a richly biodiverse space where wildlife can thrive."

Another grab shot through the lounge window. Only the last 3 years that I’ve found #Latham’s #Snipe staying here a couple of months or so each year & this the closest one’s been to the house. This guy’s a solitary resident, afaik, & rated #vulnerable

This Snipe was easy to see (despite others in the hide who just couldn't get on it). #BowlingGreenMarsh #UKBirding #Birds #Devon #Snipe #wildlife #nature #BirdsofMastodon

Wenn alle schon schlafen und nur du nicht weißt wohin mit deinem Schnabel. Ihr Schnepfen kennt das - oder?

The secretive, skulking #Snipe loves to play ‘hide and seek’ and is usually very good at it! I think sometimes though Snipes get a little overconfident in their ability to remain unseen – then they let their guard down a bit and start moving about in places where they are not so well concealed. I photographed this one at Brandon Marsh, Warwickshire, last month.

The snipes had been acting strange for days. Instead of staying in the wet meadows, their usual habitat, they sat in the village square, stoically, like statues. Something about it was unsettling. They were also humming an eerie drone.

Lough Erne: Breeding #curlews return to Trasna Island
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd1rnlmndy0o"The warbling call of the #curlew has returned to #TrasnaIsland in Lower #LoughErne. Conservationists are celebrating the first successful breeding #birds on the island in living memory... they worked to restore habitat to support the return of vulnerable species including the curlew, along with the #lapwing, #snipe and #redshank."
