Environmental Efforts
The yurts, tipis and tents that we make use up far fewer natural resources than a traditional stick built structure. They also leave a very light footprint on the earth so you can take "leave no trace camping" one step further to "leave no trace living." The Colorado Yurt Company is committed to environmentally friendly practices during the manufacturing process as well.
