   All,
   
   We are preparing to add several wildflower plots throughout golf course and I am looking for suggestions or practices that have worked for you to keep people from either entering or driving through these areas. I don't want to put up fencing or barricades around the areas. I am not opposed to roping off the areas but that would require a lot of rope and posts.
   
   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

   I have used nice signs in the past denoting the areas as natural wildflower/native plant areas and asking people to stay out please. I do believe the Audubon Society has them on their website. One would note a free drop to play also as a way to preserve the natural plants and beauty of the area. Typically these areas are well out of play for the most part anyway? I am sure other companies offer such signs in todays modern world.
