3. Preserving biodiversity
Golf de Servanes, set in the heart of a preserved environment, is a veritable green lung where biodiversity flourishes. By helping to protect the ecosystem, we are helping to maintain a natural balance and ensure the long-term survival of this beautiful biological diversity.
4. Controlled use of products
In response to growing concerns about protecting the environment, Golf de Servanes is committed to achieving zero phyto use by 2025, by favouring natural, nature-friendly alternatives. This approach demonstrates our commitment to sustainable development, offering golfers a pleasant environment without compromising the health of neighbouring ecosystems.
5. The sod farm
Golf de Servanes, renowned for its magnificent course, has a huge lawn where Bermuda Grass cuttings are taken. These cuttings, which help to regenerate the course, are of exceptional quality, guaranteeing a perfectly maintained lawn.
6. Events and meetings
At our information workshops, we focus on our practices, aiming to better explain the use of bio-stimulant products as well as macro-organisms and basic biocontrol substances. In this way, we aim to raise public awareness of the importance of preserving and responsibly managing our precious resources, which are essential to our business.
