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 and the times of their visits! Once adopted, we ask that you visit at least twice a year to remove opala and invasive plants from your site...and hopefully help us grow and plant native species. Weʻre also opening up opportunities to adopt a plot at our Hui Alaloa Garden Project sites in Waipahu and Pearl City! Reach out to our staff to see how we can support your efforts by emailing us at malamapuuloa@gmail.com
