In Our Forests

Forest health, in the eyes of everyone who shares the Vail Resorts experience, is inextricably tied to our own human health. This connection drives our approach to ensuring that the health of forests in Vail Resorts communities is sustained for decades to come. We strive to achieve this goal through the means we know best: partnerships.

We are blessed with a rich array of individuals and organizations across the country dedicated to enhancing forest health. Over the last 10 years, Vail Resorts has forged close-knit partnerships with several of the best of these organizations. These relationships have helped our efforts grow and build – echo if you will – at an accelerated pace.

Milestones of our Forest Health program include:

• Almost $3 million of direct contributions to forest health projects that span Colorado, Wyoming and California.
• Thousands of employee hours spent on site and behind the scenes working toward forest health.
• Tens of thousands of acres improved, preserved or restored through our forest health initiatives.

Our dedication to forest heath carries to our communities and guests through a variety of efforts, from guest donation programs to support for local environmental non-profits.
