Caravan park nets another accolade for continued conservation work

The park is situated on the coast of Norfolk

A caravan park has been honoured for the tenth year in succession for its continued work to help support Britain’s natural environment.

The Fakenham Times reports that Pinewoods Holiday Park has received a gold award in the David Bellamy Conservation Award Scheme.

In the past, assessors have been impressed by decisions to fit solar panels to heat water in toilet blocks and moves to improve the reed beds in a nearby lake.

This year, the tourism business, which has 564 static caravan pitches, replaced the petrol vehicles used by staff with two electric buggies to further enhance its positive impact on the environment.

Manager Richard Seabrooke told the publication: “Conservation is a key part of our work here and we take it into account in every aspect of our business.

“The whole philosophy is something we work with and are conscious of all the time in the decisions we make – and to win this award ten years running means we are reinvesting and doing it right.”

Meanwhile in other news, top kitchen appliances and an ATC stability control system were factors that helped the Bailey Pegasus 624 crowned the Caravan of the Year at the Which? Caravan 2010 Awards.
