Environmental Policy Statement
Longnor Wood Holiday Park is a Peak District campsite committed to promoting sustainable tourism. By minimising our impact on the environment, wildlife and local communities we hope to have a positive impact on our guests, employees, local residents and planet. We contribute to local conservation charities such as the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust and are a member of the David Bellamy Pledge for Nature scheme operated by the BH&HPA.
We seek to minimise the environmental impact of our five-star campsite in the following ways:
- Improve existing wildlife habitats, including bees, butterflies, insects and birds
- Minimise our waste and energy consumption wherever possible
- Minimise light pollution to help our guests enjoy the Peak District dark skies
- Maintain our facilities and our equipment to the highest of standards
- Ensure old equipment is always replaced with energy efficient alternatives
- Promote the Reduce, Re-use and re-cycle messaging to our guests
- Remove the use of single use packaging or plastics in our stores and vending machines
- Encourage our customers to use our drinking water points
- Use eco-friendly materials and cleaning products
- Minimise paper by emailing our guests in advance and having hand dryers and not hand towels in our amenity block
- Promote sustainable options such as walking or cycling for guests staying with us
- Encourage guests to learn more about the natural environment during their stay
- Promote the sale of local produce from local businesses in our Peak District campsite shop
- Promote local businesses and attractions on our website
- Partner with local contractors wherever possible to undertake site improvement works
- Provide on-site accommodation for the majority of our team who do not have to travel to work
