SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL
In the first of a series about sustainable travel, we discover how to visit some of the most beautiful parts of the UK – and help to preserve them while you travel.
In the first of a new series, we look at Environmental Volunteering
It's a rare traveller in 2020 who isn't at least slightly haunted by the spectre of their carbon footprint. Most of us are trying to figure out how we can best combine our love for discovering new places with the need to fly less, consume less, and tread lightly on the beautiful environments that we are privileged to visit.
It can be a tough calculation, weighing up the potential environmental cost of your proposed trip, against the need for a change of scene, a breath of fresh air, a dip in the cool ocean. But what if there was a way to visit some of the most remote and precious parts of the British Isles, see them from a perspective that isn't available to an ordinary traveller, and to feed your soul at the same time?
Residential conservation holidays offer exactly this opportunity. From dolphin watching off the Hebrides to drinking country wines in Cheshire, by volunteering some of your time to help protect the environment, you can give yourself an experience that you'll never forget.
