On August 9, 2007 the Florida Department of Environmental Protection certified The Banyan Resort as a Green Lodging Facility! The Banyan Resort is the first lodging establishment in the Florida Keys and the first condominium association in the State of Florida to earn this prestigious designation.
The celebration was attended by local dignitaries including Key West Mayor, Morgan McPherson and Rep. Ron Saunders. Festivities culminated with the release of a collection of Painted Ladies, native butterflies of the Florida Keys.
