Environmental Resources

Becoming a certified Environmental Leader Hotel in Maine was important to us at the Meadowmere.

We believe that our hotel can continue to reduce its environmental impact – saving resources and benefiting those that want to choose an eco-friendly hotel for their Ogunquit vacation.

Below are recommended sites for more information and updates on green and eco-friendly hotel efforts plus good sites for learning about green business practices and environmental tips for traveling.

Thank you for supporting our green lodging efforts to protect and preserve Ogunquit for many generations to come.

Enjoy your trip to Maine!

We also just released a study on the rise of Eco-Tourism, so feel free to have a read!
