We Invite You To Adopt-a-Plot at Kapapapuhi Point Park!
Individuals, ʻOhana, Clubs, Businesses, Schools and more - anyone with a desire to Mālama Pu`uloa can help maintain and restore sites! Participants can choose the site and size of their plot/s and the times of their visits! Once adopted, we ask that you visit at least once a year to remove opala and invasive plants from your site...and hopefully help us grow and plant native species. Our staff will set up times to meet your group and support your efforts.
Weʻre also opening up opportunities to adopt a plot at our new Hui Alaloa Project site near Lehua Community Park.

Our Featured "Adopters" - Mahalo Nui Loa!

The Sea Cadets, Battleship Missouri Division adopted the entire makai section of the Honouliuli Stream and began their amazing work in April, 2022. Weʻre honored to be working with students that have already shown such incredible work ethic!
Weʻre honored that marines would come all the way from Kaneohe to be a part of our Mālama Pu`uloa Program - adopted the entire Niholo Loko I`a (fishpond) and help us recover it from invasive mangrove. After starting in February, 2022, their progress has been inspirational!
Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Anuschka Faucci, several kumu and students from LCC are a key part of Mālama Pu`uloa. Dr. Faucciʻs students have helped develop citizen science programs, Dr. Daniela Dutraʻs students help us grow native plants and weʻre so excited that students from the Kahua Hoʻomau Ola will be developing long-term connections with Kapapapuhi!
