Reserve & Reforest: A Reforestation Tree for Every Reservation

In Partnership with TreesUpstate: A Reforestation Tree for Every Reservation

At The Station, we understand that your travel is not just about the journey but also about leaving a positive imprint behind. That's why, in collaboration with TreesUpstate, we introduced our 'Reserve & Reforest' initiative. For every booking made and completed from December through the end of January 2024, we are ensuring a tree was planted right here in Travelers Rest.

TreesUpstate's Reforestation Trees are more than just plants; they're a commitment to our environment, our future, and our community. Planted at parks and schools across the upstate, these Reforestation Trees, including species like oaks, tulip poplars, and American beech, are canopy trees designed to thrive for over a century.

On Saturday, February 10, 2024, we attended the Middle Saluda River Tree Planting initiative in partnership with TreesUpstate and Save Our Saluda. The Saluda River is vital to our community as it's a main source of drinking water. Yet, it's under threat due to sediment runoff from streams and rivers, a problem that starts at the source. Volunteers worked together to restore the riparian buffer along the river, which acts as long-term insurance, safeguarding river water quality and supporting local wildlife. Through year-long careful planning and engineering, this initiative of planting hundreds of trees is working towards stabilizing these areas.

Thank you to all the volunteers and both TreesUpstate and Save Our Saluda for these important efforts. We look forward to our continued partnership in maintaining the wellness of our beautiful community.
