For the Local Wildlife
When you visit Newberry Valley, or in fact anywhere in North Devon, please ensure that you look after the wildlife by keeping the site litter-free and respecting the countryside.
You'll notice that there are many areas of the grounds which have been left to grow into wild flower areas, with coppicing of the trees and log piles to provide a home for small creatures such as butterflies, moths, and a whole load of creepy-crawlies and insects.
This ensures that there is plenty of food available for the many birds species and all the small mammals that live there too.
We are continually auditing our efforts and looking for new ways in which to improve our conservation efforts.
You can help too
We ask guests & visitors to help us by:-
- Recycling newspapers, magazines, glass, cans and plastic bottles and cardboard using the special centres provided on the parks. It is important to follow instructions when recycling to avoid contamination.
- Bring your own or re-use bags when purchasing items daily from the shop. Staff re-use any carrier bags where possible, and otherwise encourage the purchase of strong jute shoppers or recycled paper bags from the shop instead of using more new plastic bags.
- Saving energy whilst staying on the park. Low energy and energy efficient fluorescent lighting has been installed across the majority of the park with movement sensors in some facilities, and guests can help by minimising usage and being energy aware within your units.
- Moderating water usage in the showers and around the site. All we ask is that our guests are not wasteful with the water by having prolonged showers.
- Supporting local initiatives by using village shops and other businesses as much as you can.
We are continually auditing our efforts and looking for new ways in which to improve our conservation efforts. If you any suggestions or ideas please let us know.
"I feel I must write to thank you: the standard of the campsite was fantastic and I could tell that you all worked tirelessly to ensure this high standard was maintained."
