SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is at the forefront in our approach in design, engineering and operations.
Dark Sky Lighting Package
Outdoor lighting fixtures will be Dark Sky Approved to eliminate light pollution and not disturb on-site and neighboring properties’ stargazing.

Energy Efficiency & Solar Power
Yonder looks to minimize energy usage. Moreover, by installing roof solar panels, the property’s energy usage will be subsidized with clean energy.
​
Sustainability Focused Programming
Yonder produces a location-specific documentary to educate our guests on the natural astronomy and role it lays in local Indigenous American culture. Other programming through partnerships serve as opportunities to educate our guests on the natural nuances surrounding them.
