Worksheet #3: Human Impact
Survey use patterns on the local course, sampling
numbers of people playing, course traffic patterns,
litter problems, parking issues, erosion and wear
around tee and basket areas. Draft a report for
the local park authority or disc golf club and
volunteer to assist them in problem solving and
maintenance.
The PDGA Environmental Committee
The PDGA has committed itself to the growth of
disc golf, and is also committed to seeing that
the sport grows in an environmentally responsible
way. Because of this commitment, the PDGA formed
the PDGA Environmental Committee in 1998.
The primary duties of the Environmental Committee
will be to:
- educate players and course designers about
the impacts of existing and proposed courses;
- provide specific input, advice, and general
expertise in specific locations;
- store environmental documents and/or data
from courses around the country for use by other
course designers or operators.
How to Reach the PDGA Environmental
Committee
The PDGA Environmental Committee is a cybercommittee
comprised of members from all over the world.
We can be reached through the committee chair,
Mike Belchik.
Mike can then route the communication to the rest
of the committee. We can help you interface with
parks departments, answer questions about environmental
issues and course maintenance, and be a general
contact for the PDGA regarding these issues.
If you have any environmental documentation regarding
your course, we would greatly appreciate it if
you could forward it to this committee so that
others can access it easily. We are building a
reference library of these types of documents
for future use. Examples include memos from parks
departments, permits, and environmental documentation
of any kind. We are also interested in any generalized
books, documents, or references you might feel
would be relevant to this subject.
