Going Greener    

Helping you make a smaller family footprint

Choosing a Haven holiday can drastically reduce your carbon footprint. The important steps we're taking to reduce ours help to make it smaller still. The environmental awards our Parks have achieved underline our commitment to protecting woodland and wildlife. We also believe going green can be fun.

Looking ahead together    

Our responsibility doesn’t just stop at providing the best possible holiday experience for you, your family and friends. We are continuously looking at new ways of helping the environment and working towards a sustainable future.

Many policies are already in place; like our commitment to looking after our Park land, wildlife, birdlife and establishing Park Nature Reserves. Recycling programmes and measures to reduce our carbon footprint means that all our futures can only be greener and cleaner.

Growing bigger, using less    

Through a variety of new practices across our 35 Parks, we have reduced our total energy consumption by 10% over the last 2 years. This helps to reduce the CO2 emissions that are the biggest cause of global warming.

Water Conservation    

As water supplies come increasingly under pressure through climate change, finite resources and ever-growing demand, we have introduced many ways to conserve water and reduce our consumption.

Carry on recycling    

Just because you're on holiday, there is no excuse to stop recycling. You'll find everything from cardboard and plastic compactors, to glass recycling bottle banks, as part of our green waste policy at all our Parks.

Our Brochure    

Our Brochure is printed on M Brite paper that has 70% of its pulp certified by the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification). Our printer is also PEFC accredited.

Park Awards    

All our Parks have recieved the David Bellamy Award for our commitment to enhancing and protecting the natural world in and around our Park areas. 

Haggerston Castle and Devon Cliffs have achieved the coveted Green Tourism Business Scheme Award for business efficiency, environmental management, waste, transport management, social responsibility and biodiversity.

Wildlife    

Some of our Parks are in areas designated as Sites of Scientific Special Interest and fifteen have their own or are near to protected areas. Six have Nature Trails, and others have their own Nature Reserves. 

We aim to attract and protect wildlife at every opportunity. We take pride in the wildflife we have at our Parks - the Little Terns and Knatterjacks at Presthaven Sands and Kittywakes at Devon Cliffs to name but a few of the species we are helping to preserve.

Education    

We want our holidays to provide access to nature. Our ever-popular activity ~ David Bellamy's Park Rangers ~ was created by David himself and is now run by qualified Park Rangers at Kiln Park, Perran Sands and Presthaven Sands, plus we have nature inspired FunStars at all our other Parks. It reveals the unseen and eye-opening miracles of nature right under our noses.
