Whistler Ziptrek - It is easy being "Green"

Last Updated on Wednesday, 30 November 2011 18:17

“If you want to protect wild places you have to do so with the measured responsibility of getting people to understand why they are so important to protect in the first place.” - Jayson Faulkner, Whistler town councilor.

Most residents of Whistler are environmentally minded folks by sheer virtue of where we live and what we do. Our main reason for being here is intrinsically tied to our love of playing and working in incredibly amazing mountains and enjoying the outdoor lifestyle they provide us.

While there are many Whistler groups and organizations working to protect the environment (and I’ll list some of them below) it is always important that leaders in the business community step up and show the way.

Ziptrek Ecotours is not only one of Whistler’s most popular adventure tours but is also one of the greenest (in every sense of the word since tour guests spend most of their time hundreds of feet off the ground in the old-growth canopy.)

The Whistler Insider caught up with Ziptrek co-founder and CEO David Udow to learn a bit more about their off-the-grid operation in the Coast Mountain Rainforest.
