Our Green Future
We are a member of the Green Tourism Business Scheme (Bronze Award) committed to good environmental practice and sustainable development.
We meet the minimum legal requirements related to environmental protection and waste disposal and aim to minimise our impact and maximise the positive aspects that we have on the environment.
We are demonstrating our commitment through the following activities:
- Maintaining an historical botanical glass house for the public
- Recycling paper, card, glass and cans
- Using low energy lighting in our offices and facilities
- Using stationery from recycled or sustainable sources where possible
- Installing aerator percussion taps and reduced flush in our toilets
- Selling Fairtrade products as refreshments at our Trust events
- Achieving a Green Pennant Award for our work at Sefton Park Palm House
- Offering employees access to the national Cyclescheme for cheaper purchase of bikes
- Green Transport Plan
- Providing facilities for cyclists
You can help us in our endeavours by:
- Coming to one of our RSPB birdwatch events
- Using public transport, walking or cycling to visit us
- Asking us to host a green event or reception
- Adopting green practices at home
- Becoming involved in our sponsorship programme
This is a small sample of the good practices being undertaken to minimise our environmental impact. We see this as an ongoing process, which includes exploring new solutions to meet the challenges.
