We try hard to be an environmentally friendly company.  Rock Creek Regional Park in Rockville, MD is one of Maryland's most valuable and beautiful environments and we take our responsibility to care for this area very seriously.

All of our courses are friendly to wildlife.  The wood chips we use in our zip line landing areas create habitats for small creatures and the undersides of our platforms have provided the perfect shelter for nesting swallows and other unperturbed birds.

Our courses are designed to minimize impact on trees; nothing is bolted into trees – we use clever braces that grip tree trunks on which our platforms rest on.  The magic of the system is that we can loosen the brace as the tree grows.  Our trees are inspected annually by an independent consulting arborist to ensure their health.

You’ll find our outdoor adventure sites are free of litter.  We take pride in our little area of the forest.  Please help us by disposing of your trash in the appropriate recycle and trash containers.

We also work closely with the Gorilla Organization.  Last year, 108 Go Ape staff and customers took to the streets of London for the Great Gorilla Run, and together raised over $60,000 dollars.

We know there’s always more we can do.  We’re looking at ways to make our cabins more eco-friendly (although wind turbines and solar panels don’t always work in our forest locations!).  However, we’re looking to improve where we can, so if you have any ideas, please let us know.
