IMPACT

SLAC is a small family run business with a strong environmental ethos. We developed a reiterative canoe tour, Paddle with a Purpose, involving a litter pick that helps reduce marine litter on Strangford Lough. To date we have removed approximately 500 tons. As Leave No Trace trainers, our instructors educate participants on minimising the effects of their activities on nature and wildlife. Our Eco Tour boat trips help educate visitors on local wildlife to help future generations love and protect it.
We have a strong community focus, employing and training local instructors, providing discounted activities for community groups, and supporting local fundraising programmes. We have developed a network of sustainable tourism partners for the local area and share knowledge and best practice.
SLAC has completed a 12 week sustainable tourism practices programme delivered by Tourism NI. We are developing an off grid eco glampsite using reed beds, solar PV, ground source heat pumps, and rainwater harvesting, with an anticipated opening in Spring 2026. We have planted over 1,500 native trees and hedgerows in the last year. Our sustainability policy is robust and measurable.
