The Rame Peninsular is all about nature unfolding and at The Sea Forts this is no exception. As a joint mission with The Rame Conservation Trust we have adopted Historic Englands Conservation principles as the highest standard. Nature is the force that nurtures life and has the power to heal itself and us. Re-wilding is the hope for the future to restoring ecosystems, help nature recover to a point where nature can take care of itself. The Sea Forts is taking action to help nature to regenerate, reversing biodiversity loss, helping wildlife to adapt to climate change.
We all have to make better choices. This has become obvious to founders Chris and Patrick of The Sea Forts in choosing the path to take with this site and its precious ecology. Initially they were granted permission to run a 95 pitch campsite on the field, in direct competition with the RCT campsite behind and at a serious cost to the ecology of the site, this was not an ethical choice for people or planet.
Instead they took a different road, and working with permaculture designers have formed a plan to evolve the site over the years into a regenerated wild haven that conserves, over mass development.
The goal has always been to restore the barrack buildings, and this is happening in line with heritage Englands strict codes and considerations.
By placing a 18 pitch luxury camp on the site the camp not only will form the foundation for a wild sanctuary but will fund the restoration of the buildings that need attention.
We are living within a larger system that is highly unsustainable, and every one needs to do what they can whilst also acknowledging no one can attain sustainability perfection.
The Sea Forts team are serious about a sustainable site.
