Weather this spring has been more like early summer, and with plenty of action for fly fishers in the Lake Tahoe area, now is a great time to take a clinic or schedule a guide trip with Resort at Squaw Creek's Fly Fishing Lead Instructor, Matt Heron.  He's truly the best of the best.  So, come on out, learn a great sport, and catch a few rainbows on the private, stocked ponds that are the site of Matt's clinics.  This picture highlights the recent trout stocking in action. 

Everyday Practices

We are proud to have created a "Destination Earth" taskforce, comprised of leaders throughout the organization and representing hotel and resort operations, to ensure that all departments and associates of Destination Hotels & Resorts are personally involved and committed to the program. We have already put in place the following initiatives which each of our properties have made a commitment to pursuing:

• Establishment of a property specific "green team" at Resort at Squaw Creek to adopt and implement earth-friendly practices at our resort and to become better stewards of the natural resources we utilize. Finally, to monitor effectiveness of these practices.
• Sourcing environmentally sensitive products and services locally, and purchasing organic, environmentally friendly/responsible and recycled supplies, whenever possible.
• Purchasing fresh and sustainable foods regionally grown, whenever possible.
• Creating partnerships with other organizations that have demonstrated a commitment to preserving the environment.
• Leading our associates to apply eco-friendly practices in their daily operations.
• Utilizing environmentally-responsible building materials and strategies for new properties and renovations to reduce environmental impact.
• Retrofitting Resort at Squaw Creek with energy efficient lighting, heating and cooling systems, as well as water-saving devices.
• Implementing tools that allow us to continually measure the progress of our individual properties and support their commitment to preserving the environment through the Destination Earth program.
