Paradise Helicopters partners with Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative
Under a new program, Paradise Helicopters is offering guests the opportunity to “green their seat” while experiencing Hawaii’s most incredible sights and landing locations.
Paradise is the first helicopter tour company to offer flights exclusively for the reforestation of endemic trees in Hawaii. Through the nonprofit Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative, guests can choose from nearly 20 tour options for the sponsorship of koa Legacy Trees. These trees are planted for permanent reforestation in the Hawaiian Legacy Forest on Hawaii Island, and their growth can be tracked remotely using radio-frequency identification.
This effort furthers the company’s longstanding commitment to environmentally sustainable operations.
