Vail Resorts Committed to a Green Colorado
When you get a vacation rental in the Vail area, you are helping to support the initiatives of award winning Vail Resorts Management Company. Here are some of the great programs they have enacted to keep your vacation clean, green and pure.
Highway Clean Up.
Each spring, Vail Resort presents the largest annual highway and road clean up day in the state of Colorado in conjunction with the Eagle River Watershed Council, a local non-profit conservation organization. With the support of over 900 volunteers, local businesses and the Colorado Department of Transportation, 90 miles of highway in Eagle Valley are cleaned of litter. In 2005, the volunteer group collected and disposed of 89,300 pounds of litter during the three hour event.
River Clean Up.
Vail Resorts hosts annual community clean up events of the Eagle River in Eagle County, Colorado and the Blue River in Summit County, Colorado. Both watersheds directly affect the wildlife habitats and overall environmental quality of areas near all our Colorado mountain resorts and lodging properties.
Aiding the Experts.
Our company annually supports the local chapters of Ducks Unlimited, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Rocky Mountain Mule Deer Foundation to protect the habitat of our region’s native animals and plants. In funding these outstanding organizations, wetlands, forests and other wildlife areas are restored, managed and protected.
Keeping Breckenridge Wild.
Breckenridge strives to operate in harmony with the migration and mating habits of local wildlife. The resort’s dates of operation and posted closures reflect the need to provide space to elk during calving season and Breckenridge supported the reintroduction of the Canada Lynx through a contribution of $200,000 to the Colorado Division of Wildlife. The resort also promotes environmental education through its SKE-COLOGY program which combines children’s ski lessons with wildlife education, encouraging students to learn more about our local ecosystem.
Fundraising for Forests
Since September 2006, our Company and the National Forest Foundation have raised more than $1.2 million that has gone directly to non-profit organizations for conservation projects in Colorado’s White River National Forest and the National Forests of Lake Tahoe Basin. With the support of our guests, fundraising efforts continue at our five mountain resorts, lodging properties and golf courses.
Open Space
Vail Resorts donated $100,000 to the Vail Valley Foundation in 2005 when the non-profit organization needed assistance in purchasing 72-acres of open space now known as the Eagle River Preserve in Edwards, Colorado. Today the land remains undeveloped and protected for local residents and visitors to enjoy year-round.
Habitat Conservation
Our company annually supports the local chapters of Ducks Unlimited, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Rocky Mountain Mule Deer Foundation to protect the habitat of our region’s native animals and plants. In funding these outstanding organizations, wetlands, forests and other wildlife areas are restored, managed and protected.
The Summit Foundation
Summit County, Colorado is home to our Breckenridge and Keystone resorts and also to more than 28,000 residents. Established in 1984 by Breckenridge Ski Resort, The Summit Foundation is a public community foundation dedicated to improving the quality of life for residents and guests of Summit County and neighboring communities.
The Summit Foundation is a leader in building a legacy of generosity, supporting nonprofit organizations that foster art and culture, health and human services, education, environment, scholarships, sports and recreation. Since 1986, The Foundation has awarded more than $8 million in grants which have been distributed to more than 230 nonprofit organizations. Additionally, more than $1 million has been distributed in scholarships to students pursuing post-secondary education.
A partnership established with Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, Beaver Creek Resort, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Keystone Resort, Vail Mountain, and other local Colorado ski areas gives the Foundation the opportunity to generate significant revenues to return to community organizations. As a result of its partnership with these ski areas, sponsors, donors and volunteers, The Summit Foundation raises more than $1.3 million annually.
Keystone Science Center
Vail Resorts annually supports The Keystone Center, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to develop solutions to societal issues through the innovative use of deliberative frameworks, inclusive processes, and analytical scientific information. Through its education and public policy programs, The Keystone Center improves decisions about long-term issues by helping thought-leaders, teachers, students, and decision-makers effectively address technically complex and politically uncertain situations.
Wildlife to Get Help Crossing the Freeway in West Vail
Coast 2 Coast Vacation Rentals believes that in order to be a part of a community that thrives on tourism, it is also important to be part of the effort to protect the local environment. Many of the guests we have booked reservations for in condo rentals, cabins or vacation homes will be travelling on the I-70 roadway. Although millions of people have travelled that roadway, few have realized the threat it is to the natural habitat. In an effort to make drastic changes to the problem the roadway causes our furry friends the following project is now in place. We should all be grateful for the Colorado Department of Transportation’s efforts to protect our favorite ski vacation destination.
In cooperation with the Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project (now a part of the Center for Native Ecosystems) and our Colorado Congressional representatives, we’re working to support the Colorado Department of Transportation’s effort to build a vegetated wildlife overpass on I-70 west of Vail Pass. This wildlife-only bridge would reconnect fragmented habitat, save human lives and provide a model for wildlife protection nationwide.
I-70 is often called the Berlin Wall to Colorado’s wildlife, because it presents an almost uncrossable barrier to animals migrating between the southern and northern parts of the state. The overpass would be sited somewhere on the west side of Vail Pass, in an area has been identified as an important wildlife movement corridor; two reintroduced lynx have been killed by vehicles there in recent years.
Other stretches of I-70 see more animal-vehicle collisions, but this is the easiest place to build an overpass because no private land is involved (the Forest Service owns the land on both sides of the highway at this location). Our hope is that an overpass in this location will create public support for many more structures throughout the state.
Thanks to the efforts of SREP and WW, CDOT has received a federal appropriation of $420,000 to fund a feasibility study for the bridge. The West Vail Pass Habitat Linkage Team, guided by Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig, is currently collecting information and reports regarding wildlife movements, species abundance, distribution, and habitat preferences in the West Vail Pass area. This information will be used in determining the target species, identifying a biological location for the structure, and design criteria appropriate for those species. Engineering constraints and feasibility will also be considered when identifying the structure location.
SREP is the lead organization in this effort. We’re playing a supporting role by promoting the concept through education and outreach to local governments, federal and state agencies, businesses and the public. We have also provided some cameras and staff support to SREP’s Citizen Science Wildlife Monitoring program, which is collecting wildlife movement data in the Vail Pass and Shrine Pass areas.
