Hawaiian Legacy Hardwoods makes B Corp Best for the Environment list
Hawaiian Legacy Hardwoods (HLH) made the list by planting rare high value endemic koa trees on Hawaii Island. “We have a great team and incredible partners; this award is really theirs. Together we are restoring an environment that has been degraded by decades of overuse and restoring an ecosystem that will return greater economic value than was obtained by its conversion in the first place,” said Jeffrey Dunster, HLH CEO. Some trees are planted for investors for eventual harvest, while “Legacy Trees” are planted to permanently reforest the land, sequester carbon, advance science and inspire environmental awareness. HLH also has set aside 1000 acres of its sustainable forestry project to establish the state’s first Hawaiian Legacy Forest.
HLH uses state-of-the-art technology backed by decades of experience to help preserve thousands of years of history, culture and natural resources. HLH is located 34 miles north of Hilo, above the historic Umikoa Village on the slopes of Mauna Kea. For more information, please visit hlh.co and legacytrees.org.
