Last week we received our order of activity books from Landseer Communications and we could not be happier. We have been looking for some time for a way to engage younger golfers/people to the beauty and environmental stewardship opportunities that can be found on a golf course. The activity books are extremely high quality with great illustrations and descriptions of the wildlife and projects that can be found at The Bear Trace at Harrison Bay. Simple and to the point these books will provide a guide or reference to the wildlife, birds, insects, and activities that can be found on our golf course.
One of the features in the activity books was a tribute to
Eloise, our first female eagle that we lost last year. This feature is a great way to highlight all the excitement and fun we had watching her and Elliott build their nest, raise their family, and bring a great deal of publicity and fame to our golf course. It was heartbreaking to loose her as we did but she will be remembered by many for years to come through these books.
Another page area that we chose to feature is our
Bobwhite quail restoration project which has turned out quite nice. The quail are hard to see, as they are very elusive and don't like to be around people, but if you sit still out near #5 tee complex where they were released you might get lucky and hear them calling to each other.
There are 16 pages of coloring pages and activities, such as Nature Bingo, in our book which can give a preview of what someone can look for during their round or show off what all they found around the course. The pages are individual and specific to each property with special write-ups to highlight information about the bird, insect, animal, or project.
Delphine Tseng is the owner of Landseer Communication, the designer and publisher of these great activity books. She has a passion for the environment and getting young people involved in our sport and appreciating all the beauty and activities golf courses have to offer, and her level of enthusiasm can't be matched. I would encourage anyone that wishes to create a fantastic community outreach project to contact Delphine or visit Landseer Communication at

We will be distributing these activity books to school children during our
The First Green field trips which we will be hosting this spring. If you would like one we have placed a few up at the clubhouse with Robin.
The Friends of Harrison Bay State Park also published a book for
Harrison Bay State Park which is available at the Interpretive Center or the A-Frame at the park. If you would like to give a small donation to help offset printing costs that would be much appreciated as well.
