The Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative is planting endemic forests on Oahu and Hawai'i Island.

Hawaii is the only place in the United States where tropical rainforests and cloud forests exist. Sugar, pineapple and cattle ranching have destroyed these native forests. Our mission is to rebuild these natural environments and restore the diversity and integrity of the native ecosystem. By doing this we will help create a better future for all living things. Our ultimate goal is to create a sustainable model that inspires others to come together to take action. By increasing awareness for how the simple act of planting a tree impacts our environment, we, with partners like you, can change the face of the planet.

“The reforestation efforts spearheaded by HLH and HLRI have re-established critical habitat for many of these endemic Hawaiian species, some of which are endangered,” said Jeff Dunster, HLRI President. “This ongoing featherwork collection provides an important link between Hawaiian history and our efforts to preserve these rare forests for future generations.”
