Making a Difference

We make a difference every day in reducing our impact on local ecosystems through sound environmental practices in our operations and for our park visitors. Our success is because we do not consider the local and national parks, in which we work, to be just another business. We are stewards of the natural, historic, and cultural resources of these parks. We consider it a privilege to work as junior partners with the National Park Services, State Departments of Natural Resources, National Forest Service, and local communities to keep the parks “America’s Best Idea”.

Meeting and Exceeding Environmental Regulations

ExplorUS is dedicated to meeting and exceeding all applicable legal regulations and other requirements in order to preserve and protect the unique environments and precious resources where we operate, allowing our guests and future generations to experience the beauty, serenity, and splendor of the local, state, and national parks. We annually establish and review objectives and targets based on our commitment to environmental sustainability and continuous improvement.

We are committed to the following:

  • Implementation of strict Water Preservation procedures and technologies.
  • Energy Reduction through improved efficiencies and aggressive usage strategies and technologies.
  • Waste Management focusing to first Reduce, then Reuse, and finally Recycle to the greatest extent possible.
  • Sustainable Purchasing not only for on-site products and menu items but also through supplier partnerships promoting sustainable supply chain management.
  • Preservation and Protection of Park Resources specific to each location where we operate.
  • We strive to implement sustainable solutions such as validating that our products and services meet high standards and continue to lead our locations to becoming Green Sealed Certified.

Our Commitment

We ask our guests to join us in our commitment to preserving the unique and precious environment of local, state, and national parks by participating in our environmental initiatives not only while they are enjoying their park experience but also in their daily activities going forward. Take care to preserve the treasures of today for the visitors of tomorrow.
