A.L. Gustin Golf Course Superintendent Isaac Breuer tells people he has the best office in Columbia. 

The A.L. Gustin course is an 18-hole golf course owned and operated by the University of Missouri, but what Breuer loves most about it is the 10 acres of pollinator plots and native Missouri plants that thrive in the course’s out-of-play areas.

These pollinator plots support Missouri wildlife, particularly bees and butterflies. Monarch populations have been steadily declining since the 1990s, in part due to the loss of milkweed in breeding habitats and along migration paths. 

“[Monarchs] may be put on the endangered species list. So it's very important that as [this] generation flies south to overwinter in Mexico, that they have food on the way down,” Breuer said. “If every golf course had pollinator plots with milkweed from Minnesota to Mexico, it would really, really help them out.”
