Why This Event Matters

Every Round Builds Habitat

Proceeds from the outing go directly into The Pollinator Project's conservation, research, and education work.

Habitat & Gardens

Pollinator gardens and park installations established around St. Clair and Macomb Counties, each planted with native flowers to support the species it serves.

Goodells Education Center

Phase two of the Pollinator Education Center at Goodells County Park, including the education trail and pavilion build out on the two acres dedicated to the project.

Education & Research

Free educational coloring books and classroom resources, plus research into the pressures pollinators face, from habitat loss to disease and pollution.

The organization's long-term vision is a five-square-mile living laboratory of natural habitat, maintained in perpetuity and developed in cooperation with local universities. This is a stated future goal rather than an existing facility.

Golf with purpose. Dine with impact. Protect the pollinators.
