“We’re delighted that the scheme has been so well received,” say Haven, who make no charge for the weekly activity. “Our Parks are in superb coastal and country locations and many include Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Several Parks have full-time rangers to manage and protect the environment. This scheme has been designed to make holidaymakers, especially children, more aware that our Parks are real ‘Havens for Wildlife’ and that we offer a really green way to holiday. ‘Wildlife Detectives’ is great fun and a good way for kids to meet and make friends as well.”
All 35 Haven Holiday Parks have received David Bellamy Conservation awards with most achieving gold – and several have also been awarded a Green Tourism Business Award. The Parks all have policies in place for recycling, minimising water usage and saving electricity.
