Black Hills South Dakota Green Hotels, Lodging & Resorts; Eco Friendly

When choosing lodging in the Black Hills your choices can range from rustic cabins in the woods to amenity filled 5 star hotels to properties offering sustainable education and recycling programs. Ecotourism efforts should be an attribute we look for in our choices no matter the star rating. A business that takes care of its surroundings is one that will make a lasting impression on its guests, not its environment.

The areas ecotourism efforts are reflected in local lodging properties. Recycling programs and alternative power sources denote an environmental consciousness no matter the location or amenities. Many of the areas ecotourism properties utilize carbon offset programs, eco friendly development and energy efficiency as well as going above and beyond what is easy and obvious. When looking for a lodging choice, consider one that educates not only their guests but also their staff about sustainable practice. Take the time to research your home and away from home and be proud to support earth friendly practices.
