Project - Visitor Gifting
Partners - Marsdens Cottage Holidays and North Devon Biosphere Foundation

Picture
Marsdens Cottage Holidays are adding just a pound to their visitor's bills on an opt out basis with the money raised being used to help improve and maintain the world class environment of North Devon's Biosphere Reserve which is so important to their visitors.


"Tourism contributes a crucial £376 million to the economy of north Devon each year - and our world class environment is the main attraction that brings in these visitors. With all of today's pressures, we have to invest to sustain this precious asset - restoring hedegrows, planting trees, improving countryside access routes, reducing pollution, clearing litter. Investing in Nature is not only welcome, but essential." 
Dr Mike Moser, Chair of the Biosphere Reserve Partnership to 2012.

"As a family-owned locally-based business run by people who share a real passion for the place in which they live and work, Marsdens is proud to support Investing in Nature and be the recipient of the first ever North Devon Biosphere Sustainable Business Award. We're comitted to doing all we can to support and protect our beautiful Biosphere Reserve"
Adrian Culley, General Manager, Marsdens.
