Eco-focus

At MFRE, we made a pledge to make our outfitting company the most green in the industry.  It has taken great effort, but it is well worth it, as we feel we have the most eco-friendly rafting business in the US if not the globe.  Below are some of the steps we have taken to make our business as green as possible.  We believe in a larger mission, to educate all our clients on the virtues of not only living off the grid for a week, but to bring this knowledge home with them and use it in their daily lives.

Wildlife Conservation

We purchase all guest households a yearly membership to Idaho Rivers United, a non-profit organization whose focus is Salmon Recovery on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. Click to watch our video about IRU!

 

 

 

Recycle

We recycle everything from the trips (glass, plastic, aluminum etc.), including food waste which is fed to pigs at a local farm (www.alphaomegaranch.com) and/or composted or used in worm bins if the piggies have their fill!

 

 

We also recently purchased a 60 gallon waste vegetable oil tank through Golden Fuel Systems to burn used cooking oil from the Mountain Village Restaurant in Stanley in our Ford F350 Diesel truck used to transport our equipment to/from the river.

 

 

Leave No Trace

We follow Leave No Trace Ethics.  Everything that is brought into the river corridor is taken out with us. We always leave camp and lunch spots cleaner than we found them by sweeping the area for any trash, and smoothing out tent footprints and scattering unburned firewood. 

Donations of Trips

We donate proceeds from trips every year for non-profits we support. This year we are donating the July 23-28 trip to Idaho Rivers United and the Sept 1-4 trip to The Wilderness Society.  We are also donating a trip for two for Trout Unlimited fo their auction on March 17 in San Francisco.  Please come join these great organization raise money for their cause.
