Green Hotel

Timber Ridge is proud to be a green-certified hotel and Wisconsin’s first green water park. As a travel Green Wisconsin member Timber Ridge has earned 70 points, more than double the required 30 points for certification.

Travel Green Wisconsin is a voluntary program that reviews, certifies and recognizes tourism businesses and organizations that have made a commitment to reducing their environmental impact. Specifically, the program encourages participants to evaluate their operations, set goals and take specific actions towards environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

Travel Green recognized some of Timber Ridge's best practices such as:

• Fans in water park push heat from the ceiling downward, reducing consumption 11-18%
• Energy effecient showerheads and toilets are installed
• Cooking oil goes through a micro filtration process, which reduces oil used by 50%
• Bird and wildlife sanctuaries on property
• Protected wetlands on property
• Energizer System that allows all electrical appliances to run on an energy efficent mode when guests are not present in room

Above all, the Travel Green Wisconsin program is designed to protect the beauty and vitality of Wisconsin's landscape and natural resources. Wisconsin's natural resources, wildlife and cultural diversity are among its most important tourism assets. Efforts to preserve them for future generations serve the best interest of Wisconsin travelers, as well as its tourism industry and the state's overall economy.
