The Steps We Take

This starts with fostering a workplace environment where environmental stewardship is mandatory. No decision is ever made that will contribute to degrading the environment. This sentiment runs from our most senior site supervisors through to our newest greenhorns.

All aspects of our snow and landscape management practices -- from switching to biodiesel snow equipment to water management programs -- is meant to reduce the carbon footprint of Outdoor Pride wherever possible.

Our Practices:

• Rainwater management programs
• Minimal usage of fertilization & Integrated Pest Management
• Offering solar power implementation staging areas
• Using Tier 4, low-emission equipment wherever possible
• Introducing aesthetically cohesive recycling/trash receptacles
• Snow staking to avoid plow damaging surrounding soil
• On-site composting of organic materials

We Adapt

We firmly believe that the beauty of an outdoor space never means that the environment needs to suffer. And in order to accomplish this, our commitment is to never stop learning and adapting through sustainable innovations of technique and operations impacts.
