Accommodation

As far as possible we use reclaimed or renewable building materials. We use energy efficient lightbulbs and LED lighting in our new buildings. We are currently converting all exterior lighting to solar. We employ sustainable grey water disposal and are trialling a worm farm for black water disposal.
