Restore Hamakua Marsh
School groups, community groups and individual community members are restoring the watershed at Hamakua Marsh. From keiki to kupuna, they have planted over 2,300 native trees and plants. The trees sequester carbon and more!
Learn about Climate Change
Elementary schools and other groups participate in workshops and talks to learn about climate change, land use change and the impact on native species. 1,200 students taught in last two years. New initiative: NGSS curriculum that is place based and includes climate change.
