Jiminy's Environmental Policy Statement

The Jiminy Peak Resort Management and Employees are committed to being responsible stewards of Massachusetts' natural resources. Massachusetts' beauty and healthfulness are an integral part of our business. We live here, and working to maintain it comes naturally.

Jiminy's policy of environmental awareness is seen in all our activities. We seek to raise the environmental awareness of guests and employees, and to broaden their knowledge and appreciation through educational programs along with our active and passive use of the land for year-round recreation.

Our development and maintenance programs are guided by principles of land and energy conservation, by forest and wildlife habitat preservation, and by maintaining Massachusetts' water quality and aesthetic beauty.

We are committed to reusing, recycling and treating waste through innovative techniques in a concerned effort to minimize the impact on our community.

Together we can shape a sustainable community for the future.
