Shropshire Hills & Ludlow

Climate and Environment

Climate change has been declared an emergency, so it is imperative we all find ways that can reduce pollution and other non-sustainable ways of working.

Here we are bringing together some best-practice case studies from amongst our members – so real-life scenarios which will show both the good things which can be achieved, and varies obstacles that we need to overcome to become more sustainable.

  1. Case study – attractions.  Ludlow Castle and their work to be sustainable
  2. Case study camping, caravaning and pod rental site – Greenaway Campsite.
