Recycling
We are passionate about recycling at Oak Tree Lane and make it very easy for our guests to be as environmentally friendly as possible while staying with us on holiday. We compost all food waste and ash which returns into the land. We have designated bins for glass, plastic, cans, paper and cardboard and another bin for plastics such as crisp packets, carrier bags and other bag type plastics; these plastics are taken to the local TerraCycle UK point. Our razor blades are even recycled and posted to Gillette to be processed. We have very minimal waste that goes into landfill. Several guests over the years have praised our efforts towards recycling and our commitment towards the environment.
Supporting the environment
All of our cleaning products are ethically sourced and eco friendly. We are sustainable in our energy resources by only using LED lighting where needed. There are no plug sockets in the Glamping units and only one plug socket in our wooden Cabins. Our Wooden Lodges and Mongolian Yurt are totaly off grid and all fitted with solar panels charging a 12v battery to give a bright LED solution to lighting at night time. We harvest rainwater for watering our plants, drinking water for our livestock and use for flushing the toilets. Our wastewater is treated in an environmentally friendly water treatment plant where all the treated water gets returned to the stream and back to nature.
Woodland & Hedgerows
Over the years we have planted a significant number of new tree saplings in our woodlands to replace any fallen trees and trees that have been harvested. We maintain our hedgerows in a way that encourages all kinds of wildlife and nesting birds, and by maintaining good hedgerow management, this encourages flora and fauna along with other wildlife.
Local Produce
As a small working farm, we sell our very own home-grown free-range produce such as our fresh and daily laid free range eggs, the best sausages and bacon you will ever taste from our outdoor reared pigs and traditionally grown mutton or hogget lamb, all of which taste so flavoursome and succulent. Minimal miles of tasty produce from field to fork.
