If you see a Gumnut Award at a holiday park it means that the park is taking steps to reduce their eco footprint.

Be it treating waste water, rehabilitating dunes and river banks, installing energy efficient appliances or using solar panels to create energy from the sun, these parks are making a difference and ensuring the places you love to spend time will remain just as beautiful for many years to come. So why not go nuts on your next holiday and stay at a park that has achieved a Gumnut Award. Many of the Gumnut Award holiday parks have great activities for kids during the holidays that are not just fun but educational - and the best part is the kids have so much fun doing them, they don’t even realise it.

Whether it's a representative from National Parks doing a talk and show with real animals or a guided walk with a traditional landowner showing bush tucker and medicinal plants, there’s something for everyone.
