Country Walks
How the minimum criteria of the responsible travel standard was met...
Economic responsibility
We are members of FOC (Friends of Conservation), encouraging our clients to make donations to mitigate against some of the effects of air travel. Also, we are members of the RSPB, National Trust, English Heritage and Friends of the Watts Gallery in Surrey.
Environmental responsibility
In our office and home we recycle as much as possible, in particular paper, cardboard, ink cartridges, to reduce the waste in landfill sites. We recycle printed material by using it for message-taking, etc, being constantly alert to ways in which we can improve our recycling practices.
Social responsibility
Where appropriate we employ locally qualified guides in both the UK and Europe. For example on weekend breaks in Suffolk, we have employed a local RSPB expert at Minsmere Reserve to educate our walkers about the habitats necessary for the survival of birds. Similarly, we have employed wildlife specialists to accompany our walkers by boat to Ramsey Island to observe and better understand marine life and seabirds.
