Green Tourism
Green Tourism Policy
At Trethem Mill we believe we have a duty to care for our environment. We realise how fortunate we are to live in such a beautiful and unspoilt area of Cornwall. We plan and work very carefully to ensure a sympathetic blend and fusion is maintained between our natural environment and our business. We strive to increase our sustainability and reduce our impact on the environment through the following measures:
Reduce, reuse and recycle where possible – glass, tins, plastic bottles, cardboard and newspapers
Minimise water and energy use through prudent and efficient practices such as high frequency lighting, low energy bulbs and push button taps
Use environmentally friendly cleaning products where possible
Promote the natural heritage and biodiversity of our Park and the surrounding area
Protect and enhance our environment and encourage native plant and animal life, planting of hedges, shrubs and flowers to attract insects and butterflies
Provide larger pitches and request our guests to leave an area of greenery around them for their own enjoyment and for the benefit of all guests
Encourage use of breathable groundsheets and introduction of maximum tent size and pitch occupancy
Encourage walking, cycling, use of local ferries and public transport
Promote the benefits to guests of staying, eating and buying locally. By supporting local producers and services there is a real benefit to the communities of Cornwall
Selling more local produce in our shop including beers, ice-cream, dairy products, confectionery, sausages, bacon and artisan bread
We are committed to continue improving our environmental performance, minimising our environmental impact and making resource efficiency an important requirement of all our business operations
