HO'OULU LĀHUI FORESTY
Hoʻoulu Lāhui Waiʻanae is a community forestry initiative restoring native and culturally significant trees throughout our coastlines, parks, schools, and neighborhoods. Through hands-on stewardship and ʻike kūpuna, we grow healthier ecosystems, strengthen food security, and reconnect our ʻohana to ʻāina.
Roots to Resilience: Wai'anae's Journey to Sustainability
A First for the Westside: Koa Takes Root
A special moment for our Waiʻanae community! Together with Leeward Kai Canoe Hālau, we planted what we believe to be the first koa trees in a City park on the Westside. These two koa trees represent more than a planting they are a connection to our ʻike kūpuna, our commitment to mālama ʻāina, and a legacy we are growing for generations to come.
E ola ka ʻāina, e ola ka lāhui!
Planting Today. Protecting Tomorrow.
The greatest takeaway? Our keiki are becoming environmental leaders. As they learn about native plants, watershed health, and caring for the ʻāina, they're bringing that knowledge home encouraging their ohana's to get involved and proving that stewardship grows from one generation to the next.
Grow ʻUlu, Grow Kaiāulu
What an incredible day at Princess Kahanu Estates! With the hands, hearts, and aloha of our kaiāulu, we planted legacy ʻulu trees that will nourish, shade, and sustain future generations. This is more than planting trees it’s planting a future of food security, resilience, and aloha ʻāina. Mahalo to everyone who showed up, shared mana, and made this day possible.
Ka Huakaʻi ‘Imi ‘Ike (a journey to see and learn).
Mahalo to Nā Kama Kai and Mālama Learning Center for allowing Kingdom Pathways to showcase the work we do with our partners across Waiʻanae our backyard, our kuleana.
Be the blueprint your bloodline needed. That’s how we shape our goals and build solutions something we hope these keiki felt, walking the pathways we’re paving for them as future ancestors. E Ola Wai’anae!
Native Tree Planting & Cleanup at Pōkaʻī Bay
Our Hui had an amazing day at Pōkaʻī Bay Beach Park! Mahalo to Pōki’i Magallanes for opening with a blessing and sharing mana‘o about the kūkolu moon, perfect for planting. Together, we planted 8 native shade and nut trees kou, milo, and kukui through the C&C Community Forestry Program and Rooting Resilience, and added naupaka to help stop runoff and keep plastics out of the ocean.
Big thanks to our partners Surfrider Foundation O'ahu, Blue Water Task Force and the Waiʻanae Water Testing Lab for watching over our water quality, and to the Hawai‘i Bicycle League for teaching keiki and mākua how to fix flats.
Aloha Kākou
