We celebrated Earth Day at our Honouliuli Restoration Site with this wonderful group of volunteers from `Ewa Makai Middle School, James Campbell High School, the Battleship Missouri Sea Cadets, Stantech, HDR, PAR Hawai`i, American Institute of Architects, Single Marine and Sailors from K-Bay, students from UH Mānoa, Senator Henry Aquino, ʻohana and friends.  We planted a record number of native plants and did the hard work of clearing invasive vegetation to make way.  Best of all our new family of `alae `ula came out to express their gratitude to everyone for all the hard work!

Our amazing volunteers from Ewa Makai Middle School, The Single Marine and Sailors, Navy CBs, Mililani HS and UH were bolstered by a visit by Governor Josh Green, M.D., Council Member Augie Tulba and OHA Trustee, Brickwood Galuteria!  

In this video youʻll also see our generous sponsor Mike Rompel who continues to donate Dominos pizza to feed our hard working volunteer crews!

Weʻre grateful for all of this support...and it reinforces our belief that no task is to big when done by all (A`ohe hana nui kealu `ia - Hawaiian `Ōlelo No`eau)

Weʻre so grateful for all our amazing volunteers - schools, scouts, marines, neighbors and friends!  Aʻohe hana nui ke alu `ia - no task is too big when done by all!

KUPU Environmental Leaders and National Park Service Staff from Pearl Harbor were on hand to support the young leaders from Hawai`i Tech Academy as they learned what Mālama Pu`uloa is all about....the first native plantings of the season, accepting the kūleana to grow more, learning place names, oli, mo`olelo and more!  A magical day!  Eō!
