Eco Code

The Eglinton Country Park Eco Code demonstrates our commitment towards environmentally sound actions. These key areas are achievable and appropriate to our park, offices, visitor centre and cafe.

  • reduce the amount of waste and increase the proportion reduced, re-used or recycled
  • reduce the number of journeys made and use the most energy efficient vehicle where possible
  • monitor energy use and reduce the amount of electricity used
  • monitor water usage and reduce the amount used
  • purchase, where possible, products that are environmentally and socially friendly
  • seek, whenever possible, alternative means of working in a more environmentally sustainable manner
  • actively encourage staff and visitors to follow the Eco Code and encourage schools to join the Eco Schools programme
  • continue to manage the Country Park to minimise environmental impact, increase biodiversity and to demonstrate good practice.
