- Portsalon Luxury Camping are proud business supporters of the All Ireland Pollinator Plan. Following their guidelines to adopt a range of strategies to support pollinators. Nature and environment are very high on our priority list!
- Hedgerows – we maintain the existing fuschia, hawthorn and honeysuckle hedgerows on the site.
- Nesting boxes and bat boxes have been introduced around the site.
- A number of exposed south facing banks are left for solitary bees and have drilled extra holes in south facing tree stumps and logs.
- Bug hotels can be found around the vegetable garden.
- Vegetable beds are rotated and plants are left to go to seed where possible to provide valuable food and nectar.
- We choose pollinator friendly plants and use companion planting in the vegetable garden rather than any chemical control.
- There are many untouched/rewilded areas around the site
- Low mow – we mow paths and areas late and infrequently and have areas of grassland that remain untouched
- Chemicals are never used for weed control on paths and driveways – for this we use a flame gun and manual weed control
- We have six composting bins plus a wormery and produce our own compost for our vegetable garden.
