Cavan Adventure Centre Achieves Step 2 in Sustainable Tourism Journey

May 01, 2025

Our sustainability efforts isn’t something we shout about too much but something we’re very proud of.

At Cavan Adventure Centre, we believe that adventure and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. We’re delighted to share that we’ve officially achieved Step 2 – the Energy & Carbon Award in the 6-step journey with the Sustainable Tourism Network, a milestone made possible through funding from the CE4RT project facilitated by MTU – and we’re incredibly grateful for this support.

While our unique lakeside location naturally means we operate with low carbon emissions, we’ve never seen that as a reason to stand still. For us, sustainability isn’t just about maintaining what we have – it’s about giving back to the land and waters that give us so much. This award recognises our efforts to go beyond what’s expected, to evaluate our energy use, reduce waste, and continually look for ways to do better.

Achieving this badge is a step forward – but it’s not the finish line. It’s a marker on a path we’re passionately walking, where every choice is made with people and planet in mind. From improving how we heat our buildings and power our activities, to exploring even more nature-based solutions for our next steps, we’re committed to leading by example.

Whether it’s picking up litter along the lake  or inviting visitors to experience the beauty of our environment in ways that leave no trace – we want to be a place where people reconnect with nature and help protect it.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us on this journey so far. And stay tuned – we’ve only just begun.
