A Day of Giving Back: Native Tree Planting with Trilogy ‘Ohana and Skyline Zipline
A group of our Trilogy ‘Ohana partnered with Skyline Hawai’i Zipline for an impactful native tree planting event on the slopes of Maui’s Haleakalā.
This initiative aimed to contribute to the preservation of Maui’s native forests and watershed, emphasizing the importance of conservation and the role local businesses can play in environmental stewardship.
Skyline Zipline, known for their adventurous ziplining experiences, is deeply committed to conservation. Since 2002, they have planted over 20,000 native trees, hosted hundreds of community reforestation and ocean cleanup events, and donated over $1.8 million to environmental and community nonprofits. Their dedication to Maui’s native forests and sustainable practices sets a benchmark for local businesses to follow.
During the event, volunteers learned about Maui’s watershed and the crucial role Maui’s forests play in maintaining it. The knowledgeable guides from Skyline shared insights into the local ecosystem, highlighting the importance of native tree species in sustaining a healthy environment. This educational component underscored the significance of conservation efforts in protecting Maui’s natural beauty.
Skyline Zipline holds the distinction of being the first zipline operator in the world to join 1% for the Planet. This global movement comprises businesses committed to giving at least 1% of their sales back to environmental conservation. Skyline’s involvement in this initiative reflects their mantra, "Do Good. Have Fun." Beyond environmental efforts, they support multiple community and health nonprofits, demonstrating a holistic approach to giving back.
The tree planting event saw Trilogy ‘Ohana members getting their hands dirty, planting native trees, and contributing to the health of Maui’s ecosystem. This hands-on conservation work provided a sense of fulfillment and connection to the land, reinforcing the value of protecting Maui’s natural resources for future generations.
