Puʻulani Agroforest Restoration

Leah Bremer, Zoe Hastings, Maile Wong, Tamara Ticktin

Puʻulani is Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi’s pilot agroforestry restoration site. The restoration efforts, conceived in a partnership between Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi and the University of Hawaiʻi, are ongoing. The dynamic system is home to various native, indigenous, and introduced plants that are culturally, spiritually, and medicinally important to Hawaiʻi.

The forest is open to the community. Please see the following links for more information on Puʻulani and the ongoing collaboration with UH Mānoa.

Join us for monthly workdays.
