The Golf for Biodiversity Label

The Golf for Biodiversity Label (Label Golf pour la Biodiversité) is a national certification created in partnership with the French Golf Federation (ffgolf) and the National Museum of Natural History. It rewards golf clubs that take concrete steps to preserve and enhance biodiversity on their courses.
