Camiral features in new YouTube course walk series
Now, in a new episode of The Green Report, Spain’s Number One Golf Resort is showing how its long-term strategic plan for sustainability is paying dividends, including:
- Using 100% treated wastewater and captured rainwater for irrigation
- Switching to drought-resistant turf to reduce water consumption by 30%
- Introducing biodiversity projects to protect 120 bird species, many protected
Among the interviewees are Golf Course Superintendent Alfredo Álvarez and ecologist Dr Jesús Ortiz.
On a course walk of The 2031 Ryder Cup venue, Álvarez reveals how Camiral balances world-class playing conditions with sustainability.
Meanwhile, ecologist Dr Jesús Ortiz describes how he was initially sceptical about working with a golf course, but soon realised Camiral’s strategic approach to sustainability meant business and biodiversity could work together successfully.
Mark Birchmore, Global Head of Marketing, Turf & Landscape for Syngenta, said: “As a future Ryder Cup venue, Camiral is an outstanding example of sustainable golf. Its Green Route strategic plan demonstrates a detailed long-term vision and measurable commitment to sustainability in its full sense: people, planet and profit.
“We hope by telling Camiral’s story, as well as Bethpage State Park, venue of this year’s Ryder Cup, we can inform and inspire all golf courses to put sustainability at the heart of their business planning.”
The new episode of The Green Report follows the launch of Syngenta’s latest feature How Golf Can Become Water Sustainable, including seven solutions and case studies.
