At Eco-Tour Adventures we strive to leave as little impact on the planet as possible. We are currently meeting international standards to qualify as an Eco-Tour operator.

 

Eco-Tour Guidelines

1. Reducing impact on resources as much as possible.

  • We use Bio-diesel in our vehicles to limit our petroleum use.
  • We use existing trails on hikes to minimize visitor impacts.
  • We use reusable lunch ware to limit trash production and preserve resources .
  • We use organically grown produce and local items/services when possible.
  • We don’t harass the wildlife and employ ethical viewing strategies.

2. Support the local community

  • We use local services and buy local groceries when available to keep your money in the area; supporting the place that you have grown to love.

3. Educate about the local area and people

  • On tours a wealth of information will be presented. Some examples are but are not limited to are
  • Geology of the area
  • Ecology and wildlife of the area
  • Presence of Native Americans in the area
  • The Fur Trappers and early explorers
  • The Lewis and Clark expedition
  • The early homesteaders and the history of the famous elk herd
  • Current issues pertaining to the natural environment of the local area.

4. Contribute to the Preservation and Conservation of the local area.

  • We hold a strong ethic when it comes to viewing wildlife and practicing "leave no trace" backcountry protocol.
