Membership If you would like to receive newsletters by email please email your details to info@exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk
Supplement The opt-out method of supplement involves businesses including an amount in the price or total bill. E.g. 5p per ice-cream sold or 1% of an accommodation or restaurant bill goes to CareMoor for Exmoor. If customers do not wish to pay this amount they may ‘opt-out’. The opt-in method is where customers are asked if they wish to include an amount on to the existing bill total towards CareMoor for Exmoor.
Participation It is hoped that members of the public will be able to contribute to certain projects through hands-on participation. These events will be publicised on this website and in local press. The Exmoor Conservation Volunteers will also be involved in many projects. If you would like to join the Exmoor Conservation Volunteers please contact info@exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk or 01398 323665.
Proceeds Some businesses may find it easier to organise a special event and donate the proceeds to CareMoor for Exmoor. Please contact, CareMoor for Exmoor Project Co-ordinator info@exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk or 01398 323665. Details of special events will be available on this website and in local press.
Collection Collection tins rely on customers to read some sort of poster or literature to know what the scheme is all about. This method is the easiest in terms of administration for businesses, but does not tend to raise substantial amounts.
Hiring By asking for a small donation or hiring charge in exchange for the loan of an item of equipment or literature provides the opportunity for the business staff to explain what CareMoor for Exmoor is about and also for the customer to appreciate Exmoor in a new light armed with the knowledge they are contributing to its protection.
