Keeping Ballantyne Corporate Park beautiful
and a few other things you may be surprised to know…

Bluebird Box Program

In 2010 Bissell Land Services installed 26 Eastern Bluebird boxes, sponsored by members of the community, around Ballantyne Corporate Park. Currently, there are 29 bluebird boxes installed throughout The Golf Club at Ballantyne and room for more in the Park. The nesting boxes provide a safe habitat and environment for the bluebirds while supporting the growth of their population here in Ballantyne.
 
If you or your company would like to sponsor a bluebird box, the cost is $40.00 (cash or check only). Box sponsorship covers the cost of materials and a plaque for the box with your name or company name. Each box will be numbered and data is reported annually to the Audubon nest box census. The Eastern Bluebird boxes are an instrumental piece of Ballantyne’s Audubon Program for the community.
 
Please email activities@bissellcompanies.com if you or your company is interested in sponsoring a bluebird nesting box in Ballantyne this year.

Audubon Cooperative
Sanctuary Program

ACSPThe Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program (ACSP) is an education and certification program that helps organizations and businesses protect our environment. In attaining certification through Audubon International, Bissell Land Service’s strategies of Ballantyne Corporate Park successfully maintain sound environmental practices in six key areas: environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, outreach and education, chemical use reduction and safety, water conservation and water quality management.

Ballantyne Corporate Park
Cutting Garden

The cutting garden is intended to provide fresh cut flowers to the hospitality units within the Bissell Companies, but there is a larger role of what the project stands for.

A few key components in attaining Audubon International certification is environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management. The diverse representation of the newly planted cutting garden is a great showcase of a few key components to what the Audubon International Society represents.
 
Bissell Land Services has created a season-long garden of interest that represents approximately 400 different plants and over 20 different plant species including flowering trees, perennials, ornamental grasses and shrubs.
