UPPER DELAWARE REGION — The Delaware Highlands Conservancy welcomes the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort to the Green Lodging Partnership, an initiative that allows visitors to our region to invest in land conservation through a voluntary $2-per-stay donation at participating lodgings.

Located on the Delaware River in PA, the Shawnee Inn (www.shawneeinn.com/our-green-resort) is dedicated to sustainability in their operations. The resort hosts a farmers’ market throughout the summer, grows some of the food for their own restaurants on a small on-site farm, taps their own maple trees and keeps bees to produce their own honey. It is dedicated to reducing waste and to recycling, and recently installed an ORCA, which is an accelerated food waste composting system.

Launched in 2012, the Green Lodging Partnership now includes 16 local lodgings in Pennsylvania and New York. Visit www.delawarehighlands.org/greenlodging.
