Renewable Energy Companies, local and regional charities, community and voluntary groups, ethical/environmental traders and businesses and Transition BH Hub are once again teaming up for a free event, The Green Family Fair, Moors Valley Country Park on Fri 13th & Sat 14th April 2012.
The Green Family Fair is sponsored by Sustainable Wood Energy Ltd of Wimborne, which has recently installed a new biomass boiler system in the Park’s Visitor Centre. The boiler uses wood chip to provide heat and hot water and is expected to reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 92% as well as saving up to 25% on the Park’s current fuel bill.
Special viewing windows, interpretation boards will mean that visitors can see the boiler in operation and learn more about using renewable resources to heat commercial buildings.
