Pollution from road runoff across the UK;
where does the responsibility lie? By Jo Bradley, Director of
Operations at Stormwater Shepherds
Plastic pollution is in the news a lot at
the moment and in British rivers it takes two forms; macroplastics and
microplastics, but they both cause pollution that persists for many miles and
many decades. There is an army of people dealing with this problem, both at the
‘front-line’ collecting plastic from beaches and rivers, and further up the
plastic-chain, working with waste producers to control it at source. [more]
For Afternoon Tea Week: Cafes: the icing
on the cake of visitor experiences
A bite to eat in a visitor
attraction cafe may be a treat during our individual experiences but their
presence is one that we have begun to expect at such destinations. Cafes have
long been a means for organisations to diversify their income streams and
encourage visitors to sit back, relax and stay longer. Helen Jones, Visitor
Engagement Manager at Yorkshire Wildlife Trust highlights that, in addition to
their financial potential, a perfectly pitched cafe might just make your
destination someone’s perfect cup of tea – with visitors soon coming back for
that extra slice again and again! [more]
