Verdant Leisure cares about the environment and sustainable tourism.
Activities on our holiday parks are continuously reviewed and improvements made that lower our impact on nature, our surroundings and local culture. In addition we support conservation projects managed by recognised charities.
Verdant Leisure Limited supports the Scottish Wildlife Trust, and particularly the nature reserves it manages closest to our parks. As part of this initiative, we ask all of our guests to make a donation of £1.00 per booking which goes directly to the following projects;
Corsehillmuir Wood close to Viewfield Manor
Set on the outskirts of Kilwinning, Corsehillmuir Wood offers a canopy of mature birch, ash, alder and willow shelters a mossy and ferny ground flora. The wood forms one of nine Irvine Greenspace reserves within easy reach of Viewfield Manor. For more information visit http://www.scottishwildlifetrust.org.uk/reserve/corsehillmuir-wood/
Woodhall Dean Nature Reserve close to Thurston Manor
Woodhall Dean is a long and narrow Nature reserve close to Thurston Manor that encompasses three burns joining to form, Woodhall Burn. It is dominated by sessille oak and is one of the few surviving remnants of the oak forests, that covered much of Scotland, 5,000 years ago. Woodhall Dean is designated an SSSI for its native oak woodland and is home to a variety of woodland flowers and birds.

Pease Dean Nature Reserve close to Pease Bay
Close to Pease Bay includes Pease Burn and Tower Burn. The area beside Pease Burn is an open valley with grassland, gorse and alder. Upstream from where the two burns merge, the valleys become steeper and more wooded. Tower Burn has extensive areas of mixed woodland, which supports attractive ground flora. Part of the Reserve is SSSI designated, for its native oak woodland, mosses and liverworts.
