Sustainability at Caerlaverock

As a wetland conservation charity, sustainability means making the best use of our resources while minimising our impacts on the environment and society.

Sustainability has always been at the heart of what we do and played a key role when Sir Peter Scott founded WWT. It was his belief that we all have a responsibility to care for the natural environment so that future generations can continue to enjoy it.

At Caerlaverock we follow the waste hierarchy by reducing, reusing, recycling and composting waste wherever we can. We have a wildlife garden and a reed bed filtration system for cleaning our wastewater.
