Ziptrek Ecotours

Our Environmental Commitment

Ziptrek has just completed the Climate Smart Program and will continue to both monitor and drive efforts around CO2 emission control and other environmental initiatives.

We are the only business to ever have approached the Municipal Sustainability Coordinator to ask to work together to teach visitors to the community about the remarkable things being done. We are now in active partnerships with the Resort Municipality of Whistler and Whistler–Blackcomb to educate each and every guest about the community’s adoption of the Natural Step – a scientific framework for sustainability to which Ziptrek adheres as well.

We are the only ecotourism company partnered with a major renewable energy hardware leader to teach visitors about renewable energy.

We also support organizations that are traditionally under funded but do vital work to understand, preserve and teach about the world’s disappearing ecosystems and species. To that end we support groups like Global Forest Science, Green Kids, and the David Suzuki Foundation.

Through walking, zipping, using quiet hybrid vehicles, producing our own power, not using chemicals to treat our wood, and by planting hundreds of trees annually we protect the local community residents from pollutants while creating fun, sustainable jobs teaching visitors about how we live in our rainforest.
