Plant a forest at Honolua for Arbor Day


Aloha Pu’u Kukui

We’re having a big planting at Honolua on Arbor Day and we’re looking for many hands to help us plant.

We’ll be planting 1200 Koa trees and 1200 ‘A‘ali‘i shrubs to restore an area above Honolua Bay, Maui!  Bring your family for a day of community and be a part of bringing back a forest.

Location: Honolua Bay, park alongside of road, look for the signs (6860 RT-30)  The planting site is a 0.7 mile walk uphill on a dirt road.  Please carpool.

What to bring: Wear sturdy shoes, long sleeves, hat, and bring a water bottle.  There will be water filling stations.

It’s going to be a great day!

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.
