We don’t take our beautiful surroundings in the
Snowdonia National Park for granted.
Here is some information about our efforts to protect the natural environment around us.
We don’t use insecticides or herbicides on the park
Since we introduced this policy 9 years ago the bird & wildlife population on the park has increased enormously.
Our neighbouring farms are organic and we are all working together to protect plant and animal life.
We actively encourage recycling
Recycling and compost bins are available on the park or very close by for holiday makers to use and they are regularly encouraged to do so.
We encourage the use of environmentally friendly products
Ecover is promoted for washing up and cleaning by caravan owners
We collect and conserve rainwater
Rainwater butts are positioned around the park and are used for caravan cleaning and plant watering.
Replacing non-indigenous trees & shrubs
Over the last several years we have steadily been replacing
non-indigenous species, such as Leylandii with local species such as Hawthorn, Mountain Ash, Silver Birch, Gorse & Broom.
Protecting our section of the River Lliw and it’s banks
The erosion of the river banks need constant attention and this is addressed. We have also been able to arrange the protection of an ancient Oak tree that was being threatened by river bank erosion.
Preventing local contamination
The water quality of the river running through our park has been checked by the environmental agency and has been found to be of very high quality and not contaminated in any way.
Wildlife Awareness
This is promoted by encouraging our visitors to keep a record of wildlife observations for all to share, and creating wildlife habitats on the park.
Energy Saving
In some areas of the park we are installing low impact solar lighting. Throughout the park we use low watt energy saving bulbs.
Concrete paving slab reduction
We are now using locally sourced slate chippings for hard standing areas therefore reducing the use of concrete paving slabs around the park.
