Super Signage at Riverside Holiday Village

October 4, 2023

Riverside Holiday Village has successfully completed its first challenge for the David Bellamy Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature

With endless summer nights ahead, more of us are finding the time to get out and about into the countryside to enjoy the many sights and sounds of our native wildlife. Here at Riverside Holiday Village, we appreciate that our picturesque location is one of the many reasons that so many visitors choose to come here, and the longer evenings provide the perfect opportunity to explore the River Axe, which flows through our park. 


Visitors may remember that we recently announced our decision to take the David Bellamy Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature, and we are proud to say that we have successfully completed our first challenge! 


Group Manager (David Tattersall) and Marketing Executive (Kim Boyd) have worked closely on Super Signage, a challenge aimed at providing environmental information and interpretation to help everyone enjoy the wildlife on our park.

 

If you venture along the river to our fishing pond, you will find four new information boards, each researched and designed by David and Kim, to provide interesting information and fun facts about the different creatures that rely on this unique ecosystem for their survival.


The signs have been manufactured by a local sign maker using sustainably sourced oak timber posts. 


As we undertake further challenges, we aim to add more Super Signage to different locations on the park, to help even more visitors to engage with our native wildlife.


We look forward to updating you all on our progress!

On another sunny morning this April, volunteers from Riverside Holiday Village, Edithmead Leisure and Park Homes, Fairways Holiday Park and New House Farm headed out on our third 2-mile 'litter pick' along Bridgwater Road in Weston-super-Mare. We managed to collect 14 sacks of litter, plus several broken road signs and a damaged car tyre! As usual, energy drink cans were by far the biggest offender, closely followed by discarded alcohol bottles and fast food takeaway wrappers. We even found a discarded wet floor sign! All waste was collected by our waste management partner, MJ Church. Now the biggest initiative of its kind in the UK, the Million Mile Clean is an annual event, mobilising 1,000,000 million volunteers to clean over 10,000,000 miles of UK landscape between 2021 - 2030. We would like to say a massive 'thank you' to all of our volunteers - we're planning another 'clean' this September - please keep a lookout for more updates about future events!
