Community & Environment
The basic principles of sustainability - protecting the present for the future by maintaining bio-diversity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting place - have been wholeheartedly embraced in the construction of Forester Beach Camp and the Bay of Fires Lodge. From the siting of the buildings and the form of their design, to the selection of building materials and the management of the construction process, our single focus has been on protecting the landscape and connecting to it.
Low impact design and sustainability
The Bay of Fires Lodge was gently placed in the landscape to create minimal disturbance while maximising the visual connection with the surrounding vegetation and the ocean beyond.
We utilise sustainable materials and employ non-polluting services such as roofwater collection, greywater treatment systems, composting toilets and energy-efficient solar power. Without doubt, it's this connection with the unspoiled beauty of the environment, its flora and fauna, that creates the magical experience our guests enjoy at the Bay of Fires Lodge.
Green Guardians
If you would like a more active role in giving back to the environment you are visiting, you are invited by the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service in conjunction with the Bay of Fires Lodge Walk and Tourism Tasmania to participate in the Green Guardians programme.
You can make a tangible difference to the conservation work carried out in the Mount William National Park.
As part of your Bay of Fires Lodge Walk you are able to participate in a marine debris collection and classification programme. All debris collected will be identified. This information will then be sent through to the Tangoaroa Blue Ocean Care Society to be entered into the national data base. This information is invaluable as it provides accurate information for future lobbying.
Participation in the project is purely voluntary and will only take a small amount of time to complete.
Every participant will receive a personal Parks Pass which is transferrable and redeemable for 12 months.
