The Canopy Project |
| The Canopy
Project, conceived and pioneered by Egret Communications, is a
tourism development project that reflects state of the art
sustainable tourism principles. This project has been engineered
to accomplish several economic, social, and conservation goals
for a region transitioning from a timber-dependent economy to a
more balanced economic approach.
The Canopy Project seeks to develop infrastructure to
take visitors into the canopy of the region's spectacular
ancient coastal rainforests. It will help visitors from across
the nation and world better understand and appreciate the
complexity of the rainforest ecosystem.
In the process, it will anchor the region's tourism
economy, encourage destination travel, lengthen the tourism
season, and generate a number of direct jobs.
The same project will enable research in the canopy.
Visitors will be able to watch - and in some cases, participate
- in the research process.
Egret Communications came up with the original concept
for this project and has worked at all levels (community to
White House) and all phases of this exciting project. The
project received the 1999 ASLA Award. |
