Top Green Award For Tree Tops
Professor David Bellamy has named Tree Tops Caravan Park near Prestatyn as one of the UK's most environmentally friendly holiday parks - and awarded it a special accolade for protecting and enhancing the natural world. For the sixth year running the park has been awarded a Bellamy Gold Award for its commitment to environmentally sound practices. Set in 14 acres of landscaped woodland countryside, Tree Tops Caravan Park is a five star family run caravan park with 154 pitches.
The park was created in the 1960s and has been owned and operated by the same family ever since. Over the last 48 years thousands of trees and plants have been planted to create a haven for all kinds of wildlife. A combination of managed planting and deliberately wild areas provide a haven for birds and insects, in particular the butterflies continue to grow in quantity and diversity. This year the Tree Tops expanded their wild areas to further encourage butterflies and bird life. They have also planted an area with wild flowers which has been a great success.
The park is also committed to recycling, and provides its customers with facilities to for Plastic, glass, paper and metal waste. A new scheme due for completion this year will enable customers to compost their biodegradable waste, this compost will be used in the fantastic gardens the Park is so famous for. We also use low energy bulbs where ever possible, which helps with our commitment to the environment. It also helps cut our electric bills so being green is good for business as well
commented Andy Walker General Manager of Tree Tops.
David Bellamy said he was absolutely amazed when he discovered just how much was being done by holiday parks to protect and enhance the environment. Many parks like this have created wildlife wonderlands, and I think it’s time they were given deserved recognition for their big commitment,
said Professor Bellamy.
Tree Tops award was made following a detailed audit of the park’s environmental policies, supported by comments made by caravan owners on the park.
Maureen Walker, Managing Director of Tree Tops said We are committed to the running our business in an environmentally sound way and we are delighted to receive this recognition for our hard work, we have several exciting schemes for next year which we are looking forward implementing
