We are proud to announce that Riverside Holiday Village near Weston-super-Mare has taken the David Bellamy Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature.
The David Bellamy Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature is an exciting scheme which allows holiday parks across Great Britain to demonstrate their commitment to helping our native wildlife.
The pledge focuses 100% on wildlife, with 5 specific areas of focus;
- improving existing habitats for wildlife
- creating new wildlife habitats and features where possible
- managing greenspace in as environmentally friendly a way as possible
- involving everyone in wildlife conservation
- engaging with local conservation bodies and projects.
The Blooming Marvellous Pledge builds on the amazing work done under the David Bellamy Conservation Award Scheme, which ran for over 25 years. The Scheme was set up by the British Holiday & Home Parks Association (BH&HPA) and Professor David Bellamy, who was one of the UK’s leading environmentalists. The Pledge honours his legacy and his practical and pragmatic approach to nature conservation. David dedicated his life to encouraging people to get out into the countryside so that they could experience and value nature.
The pledge continues this vital work by asking holiday parks to commit to one Wildlife Challenge per year. We are excited to confirm that, for 2023, we have selected Super Signage, a challenge aimed at providing environmental information and interpretation to help everyone enjoy the wildlife on our park.
We look forward to updating visitors on our progress as we undertake future challenges!
