Sustainability at Naturally Pacific Resort
At the newly Biosphere Certified Naturally Pacific Resort, sustainability is at the heart of the experience, from embracing energy-efficient operations and water conservation to waste reduction and sourcing ingredients locally. In 2025, at the resort’s Pacific Patch vegetable garden, farmer Alana Broadbent led efforts that diverted 9,931 lbs of food waste from the resort’s restaurant operations from landfill through onsite composting, enriching soil for future harvests. Advanced irrigation and chemical-free plant care used throughout the resort’s gardens and golf course fairways, works with nature instead of using harmful products. Guests can enjoy their stay knowing that their visit supports the preservation of Campbell River’s coastal ecosystems and the long-term health of the surrounding community.
