Birchwood Lodge is Turning Green - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The Door County peninsula is a place of natural beauty and the Birchwood Lodge is
dedicated to preserving this environmental gem for our visitors and residents alike.
Beginning in 2008, we have begun to incorporate a series of "Green Goals".
Our efforts will focus on Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Our staff will be adopting
a variety of changes which we have outlined below. We ask you to please support us
in these efforts by choosing the Birchwood Lodge as your Door County home away from home.

And please, if you have suggestions that will further our Green Goals let us know.
