More a free association. Like the eco tourism in the op that has got nothing to do with being green, changing bulbs to save the bats is just virtue signaling to care for nature, but if they really care for nature that much you shouldn't develop each and every piece of remaining "wildish" nature. That is where the bulbs and the lodges meet
But back to the lodges, no intention to kill the thread by going too much off topic:P

I understand the correlation,yr making and agree with you..
A bit like, yeah we shall build 200 houses,providing local jobs,and oh ,they will build a green space for the 'community ' as well..and houses are affordable..
Thats how they get planning,using eco babble,and the big 'green'carrot,called affordable..
Here in Cornwall ,affordable means selling to people who have no connection to a community, hence why Cornwall is dying and being raped of its beauty in front of peoples eyes..
I'm not even half serious,everywhere you look,fields copses..trees being ripped up,oh it really,really upsets me..
I guess its the same everywhere now..sadly...
When you hear the word 'green'it signify, to me control and destruction
Iits not a rant but true..

You got it bud, tbh it is a bit to busy for me now anyway but the lodge really done it for me in the end. Prefer going further a field now, my syndicate or just upto Milemead now, it was a nice place aswell pity they built it tbh, not for me no more

Atleast you aint got 30 houses been built in the field at the bottom of your garden thats what i call ****
Our local club took on a 'hole in the ground' 40 years back, peppercorn rent from a large cement company, planted trees, reeds, shrubs, stock now worth £!!!! One of the company managers said at the time....'no ones interested now, but when you've spent years working on it, and it's matured, it will be a different story' .
How right he was, the local authority have taken control and will soon be overun by everyman and all the local dealers.
Nothing ever stays the same.

TBH Stafford has been like that for what, 15+ years? - with Andy's past it was always going to end up as a holiday venue, and TBH the new owners done a decent job and the old lodges used to light up the lake anyway!
I hadn't been there for about 10 years, but fished lodge lake last night as it was about my only option for a quicky.. Much better water than Beatties as you have your own water. And no lodges lol.
Got to remember that these places are businesses - at least its now otter fenced and secure. Not really my cup of tea, but if needs must.......

Yeah I'll agree lodge is a much better lake, jo and Paul have done a cracking job there but it's just not for me anymore. I'm going there next weekend for a friends bday (his choice) some people enjoy it but for me I'd rather fish elsewhere more now
