The biggest island, the widest range of terrain
Hawaiʻi Island packs more climate and terrain into one place than anywhere else in the chain — wet Hāmākua and Hilo forests, dry Kona and Kohala leeward slopes, the alpine summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, fresh lava in Puna, and ranch country across Waimea and Kaʻū. Each demands a different flight plan, and being based here means we already know them.
Where we work
- Hilo, Puna, and the windward Hāmākua coast — forest, watershed, and slope work
- Kona, Kohala, and Waimea — ranch, ag, and leeward land management
- Utility corridors island-wide — wildfire fuels and vegetation mapping
- High-elevation and remote terrain where access is hard
Projects we've delivered here
The Big Island is where we mapped 500+ acres of the Koaia Trail with LiDAR for Chinook Landscape Architecture and Hawaiʻi DLNR, and where we run an island-wide vegetation-management program and wildfire LiDAR for Hawaiian Electric. Local knowledge, proven on local ground.
