Populus’ developer, Urban Villages, defines carbon positive as a
commitment to sequester more carbon in biomass and soil than the combined embodied and operational footprints of the building throughout its entire lifecycle.

To offset the equivalent of the hotel’s embodied carbon, Urban Villages planted over 70,000 trees in Gunnison County, Colorado (over 172 acres) in partnership with One Tree Planted vis-a-vis the United States Forest Service in summer 2022.

• While the initial planting efforts offset the equivalent of the core and shell carbon footprint of Populus over the lifecycle of the trees, Urban Villages is also tracking the embodied footprint of the interiors – everything from counters and lighting to utensils – and is supporting more tree planting to offset the equivalent carbon footprint of the interiors. Life cycle analyses and carbon estimates for the operational and embodied carbon footprints have been completed by Stok.

• This approach was selected to support and fortify biodiversity within the ecosystem, as the trees planted re-introduce the Engelmann Spruce species, a primary tree species that was diminished by beetle kill.

• The trees are planted near the La Garita Wilderness, a part of the National Wilderness Preservation System, which protects and preserves federally managed wilderness areas. This ensures they will continue to be protected over the hotel’s lifetime. The tree planting project coordinates are 38°03’59.4″N 106°55’24.6″W and are approximately one mile northwest of the Cebolla Trailhead, which serves as an access point into the La Garita Wilderness and is managed by the US Forest Service Gunnison Ranger District.

Beyond offsetting the building’s carbon footprint, Populus and its partners are upholding its carbon positive status throughout its lifetime by tracking, reducing, and offsetting the carbon emissions of its operations, including energy use, food sourcing, waste management, and more.

One Night, One Tree:

• In partnership with the National Forest Foundation (NFF), Populus’ One Night, One Tree program will plant one tree for every night’s stay, representing up to 20,000 newly planted trees in 2024. Guests will also have the option to purchase additional trees.

• NFF maintains a close relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and technical service providers who, together, ensure long-term tree monitoring and protection through regular seedling monitoring, random sampling, and browse protectors.

• Populus’ trees will be planted in Colorado in the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests, where NFF’s focus is on forest health improvement in response to a spruce beetle epidemic and aspen decline; and in the White River National Forest, where their focus is on disturbance recovery from the 2018 Lake Christine Fire and is positioned at the top of Basalt Mountain.

• The trees planted will be a mix of Engelmann spruce, Lodgepole pine, and Douglas fir — native and ecologically appropriate species picked by Forest Service professionals to improve the conditions for each specific forest.
