Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa has announced its plans for the conservation and sustainability of its property in 2023.
The hotel already manages a 400 acre area of land and in 2023 plans to continue planting trees and protecting the 15,000 trees already planted in the area over the last 15 years.
The trees have enough space in between for the rough pasture and wildflowers to thrive and rewild, helping the animal population of the area and supporting the absorption of CO2 out of the atmosphere.
As well as this the estate has plans for rare breed cattle to graze the land, keeping stronger grasses while encouraging a diversity of plants, abundance of insects and flowers to thrive.
Armathwaite Hall also boasts its own Lake District Wildlife Park which is home to hundreds of local and exotic animals.
The wildlife park is helping with red panda conservation, lemur conservation, vulture conservation and is helping raise money for the World Land Trust.
Carolyn Graves, director, said: “Being situated within one of the most scenic areas of the Lake District, our commitment to protecting the planet remains steadfast and we are looking forward to continuing that commitment well into 2023 and beyond. In particular, witnessing the Wildlife Park’s growth and their positive impact on wildlife not only in the UK but around the world has been truly inspiring, particularly as an animal lover myself.”
Simon Steele, general manager, added: “At Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa, we’re not just in the business of providing luxury accommodations, we’re also committed to being good stewards of the environment. We believe that sustainability isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a responsibility that we take seriously.
“From our efforts to rewild the surrounding woodland to our educational guest talks and workshops, we’re constantly taking action to reduce our environmental impact and support important causes. We’re proud to say that our guests share our passion and appreciate the real results we’re achieving together.”
