The Camping and Caravanning Club has seen four of its parks honoured with the highest award in the prestigious David Bellamy Conservation Awards.
The Club’s Asbourne, Corfe Castle, Charmouth and Folkestone sites were all awarded the coveted gold rosettes in recognition of their exceptional commitment to the enhancement and preservation of the natural environment.
Last week, the family-run Hackings Holiday Caravan Park in Billington was also awarded the top gong for its sterling work.
Conservation Award assessors were impressed by the Lauder Club Site, which achieved a commendable silver rosette. Barnard Castle and Dunbar Club Sites meanwhile were awarded the bronze level of certification.
Bob Hill, the Club’s sites director, acknowledged the importance of the Club playing its part in helping to protect the beautiful British countryside.
“As we continue to expand and develop our site network, conservation is very much at the forefront of our minds and we will endeavour to continue to practise and promote green tourism,” he said.
The Conservation Awards are presented to sites that show clear steps taken to support the local community, manage their land as a wildlife habitat, reduce their consumption of resources and reuse and recycle their waste.
