“We are honored to have been chosen to partner with The National Arbor Day Foundation on Arbor Day Farm Lied Lodge & Conference Center,” said Rory Loberg, executive vice president of ARAMARK Harrison Lodging.  “Not only is this an exceptional facility that adds to ARAMARK Harrison Lodging’s geographic reach, but the goals of The National Arbor Day Foundation are truly commendable.  We are privileged to be associated with such as an organization.”

Located on-site is the Arnold Palmer-designed ArborLinks Golf Course, a championship course that serves as a model for environmentally friendly courses.   The facility offers a distinct, distraction-free setting for meeting attendees to truly immerse themselves in the business at hand.  At the same time, it honors the mission of its parent organization, The National Arbor Day Foundation, with environmentally sensitive endeavors such as using waste wood as a renewable source of heating and cooling and an aggressive recycling program. 

“Lied Lodge & Conference Center was designed to demonstrate a wide variety of innovative conservation features,” John Rosenow, president of The National Arbor Day Foundation, said.  “We look forward to working with ARAMARK Harrison Lodging to provide an exceptional conference experience to all of our guests, in an atmosphere that constantly reminds them of the value of trees and environmental stewardship.”
