How you can help protect the forest!

  • Get outdoors and experience Hawaii's forests, learn about their importance first hand. Tip: Hawaii is full of accessible trails, parks and preserves.
  • Join an environmental club at your school, if there is none, start one!
  • Grow native plants at home and at your school. Tip: Make sure you plant the right plant/tree in the right place for better success - ask Kaulunani
  • Pass-on your enthusiasm to your family and friends.
  • When hiking, clean your shoes before and after entering the forest especially a native forest!
  • Don't release your pets, they can become big problems in the forest for the plants and animals that live there.
  • Make sure the plants you grow are not weeds
  • Report sightings of foreign plants and animals. Visit the HEAR website for more information.
  • Help keep the forests free of litter. You can even organize your friends to adopt a forest.
  • Let your parents and government representatives know that you care about protecting Hawaii's special forests!!!
