Holiday Business
Do you want to help local wildlife and boost your business’s eco-credentials at the same time?
We all need to do our bit for the planet. Whether you run a B&B, campsite, holiday park or hotel, providing habitats for wildlife is a great way to have a positive impact on your local environment. And it’s great for business too!
If you want to:
- Enhance your guests’ holiday experience
- Demonstrate your commitment to sustainability
- Meet the growing demand for eco-friendly holiday accommodation
…then we can help! Our own experience of running an eco-holiday business alongside our wildflower meadow conservation project has taught us that guests really value beautiful, natural surroundings and an abundance of wildlife on their doorstep.
Why wildflowers?
Wildflower meadows:
- Support up to 40 species a square metre! They provide nectar for important pollinators and a rich ecosystem for hundreds of invertebrates, small mammals and birds.
- Are quick to establish and much easier to maintain than traditional lawns and verges
- Are stunningly beautiful, providing colour and wildlife interest from spring until the last days of summer
- Increase the potential for nature-based activities including birdwatching, family nature trails and butterfly spotting.
Are you ready to bring a buzz to your holiday business?
