Ecotourism is also about choosing the right place to stay. The ecolodge at The Tofino Botanical Garden is located on 12 acres of waterfront gardens and rainforest at the gateway to the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, this eco lodge is surrounded by paths and boardwalks in the middle of the rainforest and is only five minute walk to the sandy open ocean beaches. The electricity comes from hydroelectric projects throughout BC, but most recently from a Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations micro-hydro project located on Canoe Creek about thirty miles from Tofino. Lighting and tool battery recharging in the tool shed is powered by a solar panel. In 2011 they plan to expand to four panels which will power low voltage exterior lighting. They have a beautiful organic garden Native plants comprise more than ninety eight percent of the biomass on the twelve acre property. All cleaning supplies in the lodge are non-toxic and biodegradable. They have policies against the use of plastic cutlery and bottled water. They encourage sensible use of linens and towels. Recycling is a participatory activity at the lodge. Double room from $60 per night. More information on The ecolodge at Tofino here. [...] [...] Where to Stay?
