We were surprised and honored to receive an award on World Environment Day this week from the City of Eau Claire Sustainability Committee, along with a handful of other great local organizations. We received the “Exceptional Natural Resources Steward Award” for our effort in renovating existing historic structures, using urban waste wood to create furniture and fixtures throughout, re-using former railroad ties for fencing, creating a locally-focused farm-to-table restaurant with a low carbon footprint, and more. The City of Eau Claire has made great strides in advocating for and executing sustainable practices and we were so happy to be a part of the effort. Thanks to everyone who values these elements in their lodging choices, and to all who make efforts like these in their daily lives
