Ōhi‘a Lehua Tree Planting
County of Kauai
Join the COK’s Employee Council on Saturday, April 22, 2023 at 11:30am as we plant an Ōhi‘a lehua tree to celebrate Earth Day!
Ōhi‘a lehua is the most common native Hawaiian tree, comprising 80% of Hawai‘i’s native forests. Ōhi‘a trees are imperative to our native ecosystems, providing food and shelter for many native and endangered animals and insects to Hawai‘i. Unfortunately, after being discovered on Hawai‘i Island in 2014, the Rapid Ōhi‘a Death (ROD) fungus has been killing thousands of Hawai‘i’s Ōhi‘a trees, and now, a new detection has been found on the island of Kaua‘i.
