Mountain Lake Conservancy & Hotel
Pembroke, VA
Virginia Green is the Commonwealth of Virginia’s campaign to promote environmentally-friendly practices in all aspects of Virginia’s tourism industry. Virginia Green has established "core activities" specific to each sector of tourism, and these practices are considered the required minimum for participation in the program. However, Virginia Green encourages its participants to reduce their environmental impacts in all aspects of their operations, and this profile provides a full list of all their “green” activities. These are the activities that guests / customers can expect to find when they visit this facility.
Mountain Lake Conservancy & Hotel
The Mountain Lake Conservancy & Hotel is a lodging facility that accommodates groups for conferences and events. The Conservancy protects, promotes, and manages 2,600 acres of privately-owned, forested land.
The Mountain Lake Conservancy & Hotel decided to join Virginia Green with the goal of improving and maximizing the efficiency of our business's energy and resource use, product and supply purchasing, and to minimize waste produced. From Virginia Green, we hope to gain valuable insight and motivation to reach these goals and continue to lessen our impact on the environment.
The Mountain Lake Conservancy & Hotel works to manage 2,600 acres of privately-owned, forested property. The land is managed to enhance wildlife and forest health, as well as recreational activities for guests and visitors. We educate customers and guests about our efforts to reduce environmental impacts and purchase products and supplies locally where available. The Mountain Lake Conservancy & Hotel is an active member of Go Green NRV with the goal of continuing to improve environmental stewardship within our business and community.
