We take pride in our diligent practices of reducing waste. For instance, in the winter months our lodges raise young pigs to recycle kitchen waste. This may seem extreme but it makes good ecological sense. This allows us to hike differrent areas each day, to minimize impact on any one area. Guides are trained in the latest low-impact travel techniques for alpine areas and they share these same approaches with the guests.
Guests learn to participate and assist in preservation and lessening the impact on fragile areas.
CMH also keeps close track of wildlife in the hiking areas and plan the flying and hiking routes so that you might see them but not intrude on them. In conjunction with the University of BC and the province of BC, CMH is involved in ongoing research that will help to continually improve the way activities are integrated with the needs of wild animals such as mountain goats. Being a steward in the mountains means taking care of this natural heritage for those who follow. At CMH, they take this responsibility very seriously. We think these people are special.
