Carbon Neutral Operations
Since 2020, Nature Escape Travel has operated as a certified carbon-neutral company. We measure, reduce, and offset all operational emissions through verified reforestation and renewable energy projects.
Our approach goes beyond offsetting—we actively work to minimize our carbon footprint through sustainable transportation, renewable energy use at our facilities, and careful program design that reduces unnecessary travel.
Every booking contributes to carbon sequestration projects in the Canadian Rockies, helping preserve the very landscapes we explore together.
Our Environmental Commitments
Zero Waste Programs
We eliminate single-use plastics, compost organic waste, and pack out everything we bring in. Our goal: zero waste to landfills.
Reforestation Projects
5% of all revenue funds tree planting initiatives. We've helped plant over 10,000 trees since 2015.
Local Food Sourcing
85% of our food comes from local organic farms, reducing transport emissions and supporting regional agriculture.
Efficient Transportation
Fuel-efficient vehicles, carpooling programs, and route optimization minimize transport-related emissions.
Eco-Accommodations
Partner lodges meet strict environmental standards including solar power, water conservation, and waste management.
Environmental Education
Every program includes Leave No Trace training and ecological education, creating lifelong environmental advocates.
