We focused on team building todayn soaring through the trees with Zip Trek Ecotours (www.ziptrek.com).
While they have a strong environmental message and commitment, most of the day with Zip Trek was spent suspended from long cables.
It's an interesting experience. You wear a harness all day. For each cable/run you and your harness are hooked up to the cable. You then step off of a platform and gravity takes over. Off you "zip", suspended bellow the cable, flying over or through the forest canopy. Great views and sensations.
We also learned about some lichen (not sure of the spelling) that grows about 1 cm every ten years! Amazing! We saw these seemingly delicate wisps of lichen that were 40 or 50 cm long. They were 400 to 500 years old!
Business feels great pressure to move very quickly. To deliver immediate results. That's partially due to limited resources, and competition for the investment dollar. Mother Nature, on the other hand, seems abundantly content to progress very slowly.
Is there a lesson here?
