Natick's Sassamon Trace Golf Course is situated in the heart of many unique and healthy New England habitats, including vernal pools, wetlands, forest and meadows. The Sassamon works hard to preserve and protect these wild places while allowing golfers to enjoy its beauty.

The purpose of the Audubon Society is to protect wildlife, conserve and restore ecosystems, and educate the public. An “Audubon Certified” golf course is a course that upholds the same principles. Certified courses are required to monitor and protect surface and subsurface water, must use organic fertilizers, protect habitats and educate the community. 

Natick High School  has teamed up with the Sassamon Trace Golf Course to make it a certified Audubon course.  In exchange, our students will benefit by utilizing the course property as a hands-on outdoor lab. In order to achieve Audubon certification a number of things need to be done. 

Our mission is to help Sassamon Trace to educate the public about the different animals found at the golf course. Students each researched a critter found at the golf course and created an 8"x11" poster and webpage. We will display the posters as an art installment at the Sassamon clubhouse.
