What We Do
Understory Alliance is growing our first forest garden in order to contribute to Climate Equity & Environmental Justice with
BIOCULTURAL DIVERSITY & FUNCTION
ACCESS TO NATURE
COMMUNITY HEALTH
FOOD SECURITY
& CLIMATE RESILIENCE
Our project creates and cares for small, ecologically sustainable, and immersive multifunctioning forest systems, which we call Māla Lā`au, UA’s take on a forest garden.
Our forest garden will predominantly comprise native plant species, appropriate noninvasive food trees, and culturally significant plants. This pocket-sized forest garden is easily accessible enough to be woven into the fabric of our everyday lives while growing in balance with and including people.
