Caring for the Environment
Annie and I are
passionate about preserving the environment and finding
ways of reducing the impact of our activities upon it.
Whilst not certified as organic, we avoid the use of
pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilisers at Ty
Parke. You'll notice that we purposely do not trim the
banks until late August. As a result they are literally
teeming with wildlife. We recycle as much waste as possible
- including plastic and encourage our visitors to do
likewise. Designated bins are available for glass, tin,
plastic, paper as well as organic waste.
The campsite has direct access to our small 'nature trail'
that winds through an area of around five acres. We have
intentionally left this area for many years (the 'rough' as
we call it) to encourage its rich diversity of wildlife.
All our visitors are very welcome to explore the trail.
Early in 2007 we planted over 2,500 new trees of mostly
native species into another area of about five acres. These
are already helping to add further to the diversification
of Ty Parke's flora and fauna. In a county that's renowned
more for its dramatic coastline than for its trees, we hope
to establish small woodland for future generations to
enjoy.
