Eco-responsible Ready to Camp
As an eco-resort, we are committed to minimize the ecological footprint of Les Refuges Perchés.
Les Refuges Perchés takes pride in practising Leave No Trace principles for responsible outdoor recreation, and we highly encourage all our guests to enjoy the site with an appreciation and respect for nature and minimal impact on the natural environment. Several practices have been put in place :
- Our treehouses were handcrafted using local and FSC* certified and environmentally friendly materials
- 50% (and increasing!) of the vehicles we use on site are electric vehicles
- We have EPA certified wood stoves and excellent insulation requiring less wood
- Recycling and composting facilities for all treehouses
- A quiet pedestrian-only site where cars are not allowed
- We charge for all consumables(firewood, propane, batteries, etc..) to encourage minimal use
- We initiated a used propane bottle recycling program with our municipality, and also we re-use unfinished bottles
- Central showers and bathrooms to minimize wastewater, grey water collection zones
- No linen services reducing consumption
As part of our mission to lighten our ecological footprint, we have certified our eco-responsible measures with Les Pages Vertes. The weighting of the eco-responsible rating is based on the criteria in thirteen different categories established by Les Pages Vertes in collaboration with the Ministry of Economy and Innovation. Our procedures result in our score being 80%, giving us the highest level rating of Excellence.
