Arbor Day 2025 was a joyous day at Wao Kele o Honolua.

We had so many keiki running around and planting. We planted a forest for them.

On November 2nd 2024, we had a joy filled Arbor Day at Wao Kele o Honolua.

Wow! What an amazing day planting Koa and ‘A‘ali‘i. So many people and so many future canoes in the ground. Mahalo to everyone who came out to help. The crew worked hard to prepare.

Special thanks to Kaulunani Urban & Community Forestry Program and all of our generous donors for making it happen.
