Super Signage at Riverside Holiday Village

October 4, 2023

Riverside Holiday Village has successfully completed its first challenge for the David Bellamy Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature

With endless summer nights ahead, more of us are finding the time to get out and about into the countryside to enjoy the many sights and sounds of our native wildlife. Here at Riverside Holiday Village, we appreciate that our picturesque location is one of the many reasons that so many visitors choose to come here, and the longer evenings provide the perfect opportunity to explore the River Axe, which flows through our park. 


Visitors may remember that we recently announced our decision to take the David Bellamy Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature, and we are proud to say that we have successfully completed our first challenge! 


Group Manager (David Tattersall) and Marketing Executive (Kim Boyd) have worked closely on Super Signage, a challenge aimed at providing environmental information and interpretation to help everyone enjoy the wildlife on our park.

 

If you venture along the river to our fishing pond, you will find four new information boards, each researched and designed by David and Kim, to provide interesting information and fun facts about the different creatures that rely on this unique ecosystem for their survival.


The signs have been manufactured by a local sign maker using sustainably sourced oak timber posts. 


As we undertake further challenges, we aim to add more Super Signage to different locations on the park, to help even more visitors to engage with our native wildlife.


We look forward to updating you all on our progress!

Providing a clean and attractive destination for our visitors to enjoy not only benefits our business, it also positively impacts our local community and the wider environment. Which is why we have committed to join Surfers Against Sewage Million Mile Clean . Now the biggest initiative of its kind in the UK, the Million Mile Clean is an annual event, mobilising 1,000,000 million volunteers to clean over 10,000,000 miles of UK landscape between 2021 - 2030. It’s reported that more than 2 million pieces of litter are dropped in the UK every day at a cost of £1 billion to the taxpayer. So, we are asking visitors and the local community to get pro-active and join us at Riverside Holiday Village near Weston-super-Mare on Thursday 24th April from 11.00am - 1.00pm for an organised 2 mile ‘litter pick’ along Bridgwater Road (Hospital Roundabout - Hobbs Boat Inn). ‘Clean Kits’ will be provided; we’re just asking for 2 hours of your time to help clean up this public space.
