Simon's sustainability drive at Stoke by Nayland ♻️
Sustainability is something that most people speak about in positive terms, especially on #WorldEnvironmentDay, but @Stoke by Nayland Resort is doing far more than just talk the talk.
PGA professional Simon Dainty is the Golf and Business Development Manager at the Essex location and part of a team that is really making a difference.
The 36-hole hotel and spa’s banner headline is that it powers its own facility via an Anaerobic Digester (AD) plant located at neighbouring sister company, Boxford Farms. Not only that, but any surplus electricity produced is sold on to the grid.
Everything from grass trimmings, to maize, apple pomace and waste fruit are fed into the AD plant. “What comes out at the end is soil-association approved organic fertiliser, which we use on the golf course and also sell,” says Dainty.
Stoke by Nayland, which in the past played host to European Senior Tour events, also has its own water source. A cascading four-lake system harvests rainwater and means that there is no requirement for mains-supply irrigation on the Gainsborough and Constable courses.
