“It’s going to improve the aesthetics,” said Charles Oddo, a project manager with Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper. “Right now, an eroding bank filled with invasive species and bare, patchy soil is not the golf course aesthetic that most people want. We’re going to be creating resilient plant communities of native plants that want to exist in that volatile, dynamic shoreline environment. It’s going to enhance the aesthetics, in addition to improving bank stability. I think those are two things the golfers will appreciate, to be playing in environment that feels lush, healthy and attractive, while we provide all these ecological services that might not be top of mind for people.” Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper looking to solve erosion issues at 18 Mile Creek Golf Course, aid Eighteen Mile Creek.
