The breathtaking quality of our environment is the inspiration upon which Woodloch is built. We understand, as a business with a large ecological footprint that it is our responsibility to do what we can to promote care for the environment through our example.
We are exceptionally pleased to be a part of the Green Hotel Association and continue to work towards increasing our energy efficiency and reducing our waste production. We are happy to be joining in partnership with our local businesses to care for our natural resources.
We have been inspired by the strength and perseverance of many and have joined in humanitarian causes large and small, knowing that every little bit counts.
What are we doing to make a difference?
- Offering environmental programs for class trips, corporate groups & scouting programs.
- Construction of Eagle Nesting Platform next to our Tea House Dock.
- Extension of our nature trail to include more rugged terrain and to provide an area for snowshoeing in the winter.
- Bio-Degradable disposable plates, flatware, cups and to-go containers.
- Energy-Saver faucets and shower heads. As well as faucets with infrared sensors to limit water waste.
- Replacement of light bulbs with energy saving compact fluorescent lighting
- Self-imposed staff recycling program.
- Self-imposed recycling/disposal program for printer cartridges, computers, electronics and batteries.
- Conservation of water and detergent by suggesting the reuse of towels and linens.

- Recycling of economy sized cans and packaging in our kitchens.
- Installation of energy management system, which through the use of infrared sensors controls the air conditioning/heating and lighting of public areas.
