Eco-Sensitive Retreats: Protecting the Natural Environment The natural environment is central to the Forest Holidays experience and we recognise our responsibility to protect it. Our nine locations are designed, built and managed with sensitivity to their forest setting, incorporating eco-sensitive features and best practice in order to limit our environmental impact. We are part owned by the Forestry Commission and share with them a responsibility for sustaining and conserving our forests for the enjoyment of everyone, now and into the future. Our cabins are designed by award winning architects Holder Matthias to BREEAM specifications, BREEAM being the body that sets the standard for best practice in sustainable design. This means that our cabins benefit from the latest eco-sensitive thinking and boast features like foundations and roofing that allow rainwater to flow straight back into the forest floor and insulation of the highest specification. Proud To Be Green: Our Eco-Tourism Awards Forest Holidays is a member of the Green Tourism Business Scheme, the certification scheme for sustainable tourism in the UK. All our locations are independently monitored on aspects such as recycling, energy usage and biodiversity. As a result of our membership we have introduced many new environmentally friendly initiatives, including having “green champions” on-site, creating bug hotels and bat boxes, and installing daylight sensors on our external lights. Our sites have all attained either Silver or Gold awards, including our head office in Derbyshire. Forest Holidays and the Woodland Trust Forest Holidays is committed to preserving the forest for future generations, through our support of the Woodland Trust, who own and manage over 1,200 woods, all with free public access. The objective of the Woodland Trust is to double woodland cover in the UK by 2050 and, through our financial support, trees are planted on our behalf by the organisation.
