The volume of single-use coffee creamers and plastic stirrers has been reduced by moving to dispensers and wood stirrers. We have also limited single use plasticware waste by offering compostable options. Reduction of single-use items will continue as we provide the utmost care for our guests and our environment.

Acadia National Park offers a large swath of untouched dark sky and while not yet certified by the International Dark Sky Association, we support the beauty of the night sky by using the bare minimum of exterior lighting with low lux fixtures.
While still a work in progress, we strive to reduce our light pollution each time we install new lighting and are actively working to replace bright light fixtures.
Single-use plastic water bottles are one of the largest sources of plastic pollution in the world. To reduce reliance on these single-use items, we have installed multiple water bottle refill stations. This makes filling up your water bottle convenient before a hike or when arriving back to the hotel from adventure. Curious about our water quality? Read Bar Harbor’s Annual Water Quality Report.

Food waste creating during breakfast is separated into dedicated bins and collected each week by Agri-Cycle, New England’s premier food-waste-collection service. These food scraps and waste are turned into renewable energy and compost using anaerobic digestors.
Over 1.19 tons of food waste and scraps converted into energy and/or compost over the last year.
As a company, we understand that we are only a portion of the larger community where we live, work, and conduct business. Each year our team volunteers their time for local programs including Witham Family Hotels Charitable Christmas and the Friends of Acadia Annual Roadside Cleanup Day.
Hundreds of hours of service invested in our community each year.
