Mission
Restoration and protection of the Keauohana Native State Forest Reserve.
Program accomplishments
- *Hawaii Environmental Restoration*'s (HER) primary project focuses on the restoration and preservation of Keau'ohana State Forest Reserve, the largest and most intact lowland rainforest remaining below 1,000 feet in the State of Hawai'i. Since June of 2014, Keau'ohana has undergone an intensive restoration process that has focused on the control of invasive plant species, and the planting of native species on what is now ~20 acres of the most biodiverse portion of the reserve. This FY 2024-25 marked 11 years of HER's committed work in the Keau'ohana Forest Reserve, launching its ninth systematic restoration pass in August 2024 and completing the cycle by July of 2025. HER facilitated nine volunteer field days and participated in ten outreach and educational events over the course of the year-bringing the number of special event days to 19. In total, 151 individuals contributed 635 hours of service toward HER environmental and educational efforts. A total of 855 native seedlings were planted during FY 2024-25-contributing to a long-term vision of returning shaded native forest canopy to degraded areas. It was a steady and meaningful year for HER, demonstrating consistent management, robust community engagement, and continued ecological care.
