海天闭关中心的可持续发展生活
Sea to Sky Retreat 的设计理念旨在维护自然资源的平衡。此宗旨在“海天闭关中心可持续发展生活”计划书中有陈述，该计划每年在地球日得以更新
In caring for the grounds and the surrounding forest of the retreat centre, the SSRC volunteer team is guided by the SSRC Forest Management Plan
在保护海天闭关中心场地及周围森林时，志愿者团队遵循中心森林管理计划条例。
To enhance the environmental appreciation of those visiting the centre, an interpretative trail has been developed to mark some of the trees, plants, and wildlife habitats within the forest and lakeside ecosystems. Brief descriptions are provided in an interpretative trail guide. A collection of photos of some of the co-habitants in retreat centre surroundings can be seen below.
为提高游客及来访者对闭关中心环境的认识，我们开发了一条解说路线，沿途标记森林及湖畔生态系统中的部分树木、植被和野生动物栖息地信息。游客路线指南中也包含了这些简要说明。下面是闭关中心周围生态的系列照片。
