Environmental

Closer to nature
The surrounding natural environment is very important to us which is why we ensure that Woodhill Park is carefully managed to work hand in hand with the local wildlife. Because of this dedication to the local surroundings, we are pleased to have been awarded a David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award acknowledging our environmental management.

The following are some of the actions taken this year:

Ecological Management:
New tree planting has been introduced to the park. This includes the use of native species that will be salt-tolerant for the cliff-top location. The trees have been located mainly to provide a more natural barrier between the main building complex on the park, and the road. The planting ranges in age from 2 year old whips, to larger 6 year old trees.

Areas of long grass across the park have been extended in size and are accompanied by new interpretation boards. The most important ecological feature on this park is that of the large wildflower meadow. The appropriate management of the meadow has continued and fresh interpretation introduced.

Resource Conservation:
A full recycling facility across the whole park has recently been introduced. A general recycling bin plus cardboard and glass bins are available at every waste point and are managed by North Norfolk District Council. A lower emissions ride-on mower has recently joined the fleet of electric powered park transport. Energy bulbs are now used around the park where possible.

Good Neighbours:
More information on local businesses, services and events has been introduced into the reception area. More local products are now available in the park shop and recently new employees have been sourced from the local area.
