Mission
Education and Community Action on Climate Change
Schools, community groups and volunteers are growing a native forest on the watershed of Hāmākua Marsh, Kailua, Oʻahu. Our legacy native forest stores carbon, retains rain water, and creates habitat for native creatures. It is also a reservoir and seed bank of native plants, including rare and endangered plants.
With every youth educated, we are creating a community that understands the causes of climate change and empowering them to be part of the solution.
Our Core Programs
Community Forestry
3,000+ native and endemic trees and plants cared for by thousands of community members working since 2015 to restore a native forest. The forest is a reservoir for several species of rare and endangered plants, a seed bank, a resource for traditional uses of native plants, and a place of learning.
Climate Change Education
Environmental education provided on Oʻahu through field trips to forestry site and school visits. Site visits can be tied directly to science standards or adapted to the needs of each class. Education on climate change provided State-wide through place-based science curriculum and for-credit DOE teacher training.
