Project Report | Sep 18, 2017
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!
