The Recharge in Nature Project
The scheme has a shared aim to enhance the National Parks for future generations to enjoy. Key initiatives will focus on the following areas:
Increasing electric vehicle charging networks
Electric vehicles help to reduce emissions and noise pollution. However, many of the Parks have limited charging facilities. To promote more sustainable travel to and from the National Parks, more public EV chargers will be installed across each Park.
Promoting sustainable tourism
With over 100 million visitors to the National Parks each year, sustainable tourism is essential. Holidaymakers should strive to minimise their environmental impact and support local communities. Educational campaigns and collaboration with local residents will help steer this goal.
Improving biodiversity
This is crucial for maintaining ecosystems and ensuring the sustainability of natural resources. Projects such as habitat restoration and protection will be vital to achieving this objective.
Exmoor National Park
Exmoor National Park is a stunning area spanning 267 square miles across the counties of Devon and Somerset. It features cliffs, moors, streams, and valleys. There are plenty of opportunities for adventure, as well as more tranquil endeavours. It is a treasured destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
The edge of the Park can be reached in just under an hour from Vertu BMW Bridgwater. We are proud to support such an important project to help enhance and preserve the local area.
