Caring for the world as you do
This adventure supports local, independent businesses. Local guides are always used – people who will give you a more authentic experience and share the hidden secrets only local adventurers can bring. And because this is their home, they have a truly active interest in caring for their environment.
The carbon footprint of all trips is measured and reduced to be as low as possible. Any carbon that is yet to be mitigated is off-set through a local tree planting project. One tree exceeds what is needed to offset the emissions of your low carbon adventure holiday.
Here is a summary of the Sustainability Policy:
Working exclusively with local, independently-owned businesses to ensure your money goes straight into the communities that you're visiting.
Treating partners fairly for the high standards of service they deliver to you, whilst still ensuring value for money.
Local, independent shops, accommodation, bars and eateries are used and encouraged.
Ensuring the carbon footprint of this adventure is offset by planting native broadleaf trees, including oak, ash and birch.
Responsibility is taken for ensuring the carbon footprint of your travel is offset. By working with the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB, the unavoidable carbon emissions created by travel are offset, but also new, biodiverse woodland areas within the UK are created that will benefit both the planet and the community. Planting native broadleaf trees, including oak, ash and birch, is helping to increase the available natural habitat for the UK’s native wildlife. Species such as bullfinches, beavers, the brimstone butterfly and many more are all benefitting from this.
Reusable aluminium bottles are provided on arrival at your accommodation and packed lunches use more sustainable wrapping such as paper bags or wax paper wrap.
Accommodation and catering partners have been carefully selected based on their commitment to sourcing local produce, organically produced wherever possible.
Partnering with one of the first boat tour operators in the UK to be awarded the prestigious Blue Flag Sustainable Boat Tour Operator status.
The primary concern with tourism in the UK’s wild spaces is to ensure it only has a positive impact on the local communities and culture so for this reason small group trips never exceed 15 guests.
Learning the history and culture of a region plays a big role in your travelling experience – it’s what brings a place to life.
The historical significance of the area is brought to life by the local guides who help you understand the features of the landscape.
Keeping local languages alive is sacred, so you’re encouraged to learn simple words and phrases during your time on the adventure.
Respecting the countryside code and understanding farming practices are important for visitors to the area.
