Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment, Forest Conservation
Mission: To preserve, protect and restore a remnant native hawaiian dry forest ecosystem through land management, outreach, education and grass roots advocacy.
Programs: Land management: control of invasive species and reduction of fuels in and around 275 acres of the waikoloa dry forest preserve. We also propagated, cared for and grew 3000 native plants and established native plants on 15 acres.
outreach and education: our major expense and accomplishment in 2017 was the construction of an on-site education center. The open-air pavilion is now our classroom. We hosted educational field trips for hundreds of students and provided interpretive tours to more than 1000 visitors. We also presented information at public events, conferences and meetings. We promote volunteerism in our community and hosted twenty volunteer opportunities in the forest. We also began the seventh year of our childrens program.
