To help celebrate the holidays, we are asking our friends and past donors to contribute towards our Hawaii-based projects. The Hawaiian Islands are in need of food security for the long term, and fruit trees are that solution. We have a growing list of local partners, schools, community leaders, and other nonprofits lining up to receive fruit trees from our Na Piko nurseries, and we need to continue our work there to meet this demand!
For just $10/tree, you can give the holiday gift keeps on giving!
Thank you from all of us at the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation, and we wish you all a beautiful, bountiful holiday.

Help restore Hawaii's last native lowland forest!
By Lizzy Rainey | Programs Manager

Aloha friends,
Keau'ohana Forest Reserve is the largest and most intact rainforest remaining below 1,000 feet in Hawai'i, and it needs our help!
FTPF is partnering with Keau'ohana Native Rainforest Restoration (KNRR) to protect and restore this unique ecosystem through the propagation and planting of native tree species. Under the guidance of KNRR, which has conducted intensive restoration in the forest since 2014, FTPF will collect seeds from a number of native tree species, propagate them in our local nursery, and outplant them in the forest. Once the trees are of a viable size and quality, they will be used to reforest the Keau'ohana Native Rainforest. Plantings such as the native 'ohe will help re-establish shade to protect the native plant communities and secure the bio-diverse nature of the forest.
By sponsoring a native 'ohe or ohi'a for just $10/tree, you can help us reach our goal of planting 5,000 saplings next year!

Potting Cacao in Hawaii
Aloha friends,
Let's start growing some fruit trees!
Our Na Piko nurseries are standing ready and able to grow thousands of sapling fruit trees for the surrounding communities...but we still need help raising the funds to launch the growing process. Our goal is to grow 5,000 fruit trees organically from seed at our Big Island headquarters and nurseries; these trees will be planted in community orchards and distributed directly to low-income and Native Hawaiian families in order to bring nutritional, economic, and environmental benefits to those on the islands who need it the most.
Help us reach out 5,000 tree goal by donating today to bring the many, many benefits of fruitful trees to the Hawaiian people!
Mahalo nui loa,
The FTPF Team
