Letter from the President
Interlochen has always been known for our stately pines, the beautiful Green and Duck Lakes, and the pristine natural environment that surrounds our institution. We consider ourselves responsible to steward these resources to the best of our ability. Our commitment to sustainability is not only a reflection of our values as a community, but also our obligation to care for the planet for generations to come.
Our institution’s Green Team has developed this comprehensive Climate Action Plan 2028 which outlines our objectives, as well as the action steps we will employ to achieve them. Our plan is built upon the three core pillars of sustainability: environmental stewardship, community engagement, and resource efficiency. We focus on reducing our carbon footprint in our energy use and building practices, conserving our natural resources, and promoting sustainable practices throughout our campus. We hope that this plan will serve as a guide to our institution’s collaborative efforts. It is meant to be a practical tool for engaging with our community and creating opportunities for education, advocacy, and action. Creating and abiding by a Climate Action Plan is no simple task, but we are deeply committed to making lasting and meaningful change. We will keep ourselves accountable by carefully monitoring our progress, ensuring that we continue to make a measurable impact. Interlochen celebrates its centennial in 2028. It brings me pride to know that our Climate Action Plan 2028 will work in conjunction with our institution’s goals as we enter into our next 100 years with a sustainable future in mind. I look forward to working together to make this vision a reality.
Sincerely,
Trey Devey
