Brockholes Nature Reserve is celebrating after achieving the highest grade possible in a prestigious environmental scheme.
This followed an extensive visit of the 106 hectare site by an assessor from Green Tourism, who follows a strict set of criteria during the audit, before deciding on what grade the site achieves.
Brockholes general manager Kath Knight was thrilled with achieving the highest recognition. She said: “This is brilliant news for everyone involved at the reserve. From the initial planning stages we have placed a huge emphasis on being as green and sustainable as possible and it is a huge achievement to receive gold at first time of asking. Many thanks to everyone who has been involved!”
Earlier this year Brockholes was awarded an ‘Excellent’ accreditation by Visit England’s Visitor Attraction Quality Assurance Scheme. In addition Brockholes is up for three Lancashire Tourism Awards next month, including the flagship Best Large Visitor Attraction award.
