Honolua Hands-on Conservation
Aloha Pu’u Kukui
In Honolua, we are restoring an old pineapple field to native Hawaiian forest and we invite you to help. Get outside, get your hands dirty, and join us for a fun-day.
We meet at the white bridge in Honolua. We start with a short 20 minute hike uphill to the reforestation area. Transportation up the hill is available if needed.
See, touch, and learn about native Hawaiian plants and understand how they help capture the water we use every day.
Then, you’ll become part of our restoration efforts by planting Koa and ‘A‘ali‘i trees, removing invasive weeds, and collecting seeds.
Please bring a water bottle, sun protection, and joy in your heart.
Aloha Pu’u Kukui
About the organizer
The mission of Aloha Pu‘u Kukui is to take care of the Pu‘u Kukui watershed from the summit down to the sea.
The Pu’u Kukui watershed extends across the Mauna Kahālāwai mountain on Mauiʻs West side from Lahaina to Honokohau. This pristine area is a vital water source for Mauiʻs community and one of the wettest spots on earth. The intact native Hawaiian forest at Pu‘u Kukui works as a natural sponge to capture the water used by the entire West Maui community. It is home to plant and animal species that exist nowhere else in Hawai‘i, or anywhere else.
A small crew of paid staff and volunteers has been working over the last 30 years to protect the native forest and stop the threats from invasive plants and animals.
Our long term goal is to have a connected native forest from the Pu‘u Kukui summit down to Honolua Bay.
