About the event

 

Our Kōkua Days bring together neighbors and volunteers to care for our ʻāina and protect the health of our watersheds. This upcoming Kōkua Day will focus on planting native trees at the Kula Sandalwoods restoration site. We will be focusing on planting shrubs and understory plants such as Māmaki, 'A'ali'i, 'Oha Wai, pūkiawe, hibiscus, and many more! This is a wonderful opportunity for people of all ages to pitch in, have fun, and get a little muddy while giving back to the community and the 'āina!
