Sustainability Efforts
Thoughtful by Nature
At Tenaya at Yosemite, caring for this place comes with the territory. From how we manage water and waste to the everyday choices behind the scenes, our approach is simple: operate responsibly so the landscape that draws you here stays just as remarkable tomorrow.
Waste & Materials
Reducing What We Leave Behind
Small decisions scaled across a resort make a meaningful difference. We integrate waste stewardship through:
- Recycling and composting programs throughout the property
- Compostable packaging used where single-use items are necessary
- Refillable water options and reusable bags available for guests
- On-site retail featuring locally made, eco-conscious goods
Energy & Efficiency
Designed to Use Less
Efficiency is built into how the resort operates day to day.
- Energy Star–rated equipment and LED lighting across the property
- Occupancy-based systems and smart climate controls in guest rooms
- Ongoing efforts to optimize energy use and reduce emissions
- Eight Tesla Superchargers and two universal EV charging stations available on-site
Water
Using Water with Intention
Water is one of the most important resources in the Sierra—and one we manage carefully through these initiatives:
- On-site water and wastewater treatment system
- Up to 95% of water captured, treated, and reused for irrigation
- Low-flow fixtures and conservation practices across the property
- Greener Stay guest program to reduce unnecessary housekeeping and water use
