The Doubletree Lloyd Center understands that our community is the place where our employees and guests live and work. As part of our "Teaching Kids to Care" program, the Doubletree partnered with the Sunnyside Environmental School to celebrate trees. Staff and students wore green ribbons reminding us all to "Think Trees", and volunteer teams from the hotel led interactive lessons around conserving and protecting this precious natural resource. And to celebrate Arbor Day this year, Doubletree staff will partner with grade schools across the US and Canada to plant more than 10,000 trees. These efforts help teach our children the importance of conservation.
On a daily basis, we work closely with a number of local and national organizations to share ideas and improve our environmental practices. Some of the organizations that we are proud to partner are listed to the right.
