By staying at an operation like Aurum Lodge, by choosing low-impact activities and operators and by subjecting your own habits to an ongoing “environmental review”, you can make a difference and still enjoy your vacation. Many of our guests are concerned about the state of our environment, political and economic pressures on natural areas like the Bighorn Country and the need to shift to a more sustainable life-style and economy.

• Once you have experienced Bighorn Country, you will most likely agree with us that this is an area deserving protection from unsuitable development, resource extraction and intrusive recreational activities. Find out what you can do and support our efforts to safeguard the ecological integrity of this unique wilderness.
  
  
• We hope that during your stay, we can convince you about the viability of eco-tourism and the fact that it can be enjoyed without loss of comfort, affordably and as an experience in its own right. Consider supporting true eco-tourism operators and activities in future – wherever you go – to speed up the trend in sustainable tourism development and reward those businesses, who are trying to make a difference.
  
  
• Most of us spend only a few weeks away from home each year. Therefore, home and office are where we can make the greatest difference. Implementing change in our immediate surroundings is imperative and will have a far reaching beneficial impact on the world’s dwindling natural resources and our quality of life. Most of us can easily reduce our consumptive habits, if only we want to make a difference.
