VIDEO - Watch the Introduction to First Green, this video was created by high school students and the First Green Advisory Team. It was created as part of the First Green Toolkit project described on our Links As Labs Page

The First Green is an innovative environmental education outreach program using golf courses as environmental learning labs. Golf course superintendents and/or local golf course representatives host students on field trips where they test water quality, collect soil samples, identify plants, design plantings, assist in stream bed restoration and are involved in the ecology and environmental aspects of the golf course. The students are also introduced to many other aspects of golf.

In excess of 8,000 students in Washington State have participated in the program. A total of $110,000 in student scholarships and teacher grants has been provided since 2002. Teachers, students, parents, golf course members and golf course superintendents who are involved in the program all share a great sense of excitement in the use of Links As Labs.
