An eco-conscious caravan site has found recognition for its environmental credentials with news that is to be awarded a prestigious conservation award.
Hackings Holiday Caravan Park in Billington, Lancashire, has been awarded a coveted David Bellamy Conservation Award in acknowledgment of the work it has done to protect and enhance its surrounding natural environment.
The park claimed a Gold Award in view of its newly-installed solar energy system, innovative signage, woodland trail, butterfly garden and its recycling scheme, the Lancashire Telegraph reported.
Linden Hacking, proud owner of the caravan park, told the newspaper: “We are delighted our contribution to the local environment has been recognized.”
This year some 620 holiday parks have been acknowledged by the Awards, which Professor Bellamy set up in conjunction with the British Holiday and Home Parks Association in 1996.
The Hackings Holiday Caravan Park is to be presented with its award by Professor Bellamy next year.
