The Maka'ula Tract of
Honaunau State Forest Reserve

The 'O'oma Forest Community Stewardship Project began with a Master Cooperative Agreement between the TREE Center and the State Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW). The vision was to create a community forest for Kona, in which residents would be able to access the forest for learning and enjoyment, and would also have the responsibility to care for the forest.

Since the inception of the Program, more than 200 students, teachers, families, and friends have entered the forest to learn, plant, gather, and enjoy. Over three thousand koa seedlings have been planted. Seed-gathering of other native species is now underway, and invasive species are removed. Now, a growing number of youth and adults have developed a "stake" in the forest and the trees they have planted there, and from the deep joys they have experienced from having the opportunity to "make a difference".

The 'O'oma Forest Community Stewardship Project welcomes additional supporters and friends!
