🌿 Ericht Holiday Lodges Green Policy
At Ericht Holiday Lodges, we are proud to support the principles of the Green Tourism Scheme. Sustainable tourism means protecting our environment, respecting local culture, supporting communities, conserving natural resources, and minimising pollution — and we’re committed to doing our part.
🌱 What We’re Doing
To reduce our environmental impact, we’ve taken the following steps:
- ♻️ Recycling as much as possible to reduce waste
- 💡 Using low-energy appliances and bulbs throughout the lodges
- 📊 Reviewing our energy consumption monthly to track and improve
- 🐝 Designing our garden to encourage wildlife and biodiversity
- 🚌 Encouraging guests to use public transport where possible
- 🛍️ Buying locally and supporting community projects
- 🧼 Using eco-friendly products for cleaning, admin, and waste collection
- 📋 Complying with all relevant environmental legislation and regulations
🌳 Supporting Nature on Site
We maintain an inventory of the trees around the lodges and actively enhance our grounds for flora and fauna. We invite guests to join us in:
- 🐿️ Monitoring and recording wildlife sightings in the grounds
- 🐦 Providing food for wild birds and red squirrels
- 🌼 Creating habitats by leaving wild areas and installing nesting boxes
🚶♀️ Helping You Tread Lightly
During your stay, we encourage you to make use of:
- 🗺️ Walking and cycling route guides
- ♻️ Our easy-to-use recycling area
- 🚌 Public transport information and timetables
- 🍽️ “Love to Eat Out and In” guides to help you buy and eat locally
- 📚 Our library of preloved books and walking maps
🔄 Always Improving
We regularly review our Green Policy and look for new ways to improve our sustainability and reduce our environmental impact. Your support and feedback help us grow — thank you for being part of our green journey
