Eco Rotary

<p class="">This year, Ryan Owan and his team used social media and word-of-mouth to spread the word about their reforestation efforts with HLRI and planted 1,000 trees in 2023!&nbsp;</p>

<p class="">Eco Rotary of Kaka’ako and HI Pyro volunteered with Hawaiian Legacy in the Legacy Forest at La’ie at Gunstock Ranch.</p>

Mahalo @rotary_d5000 @pacificbuddhistacademy ! It was the day after St. Patrick's Day and Eco Rotary of Kaka'ako and their team of volunteers were greening up Hawaii. They added another 243 native Hawaiian trees on a hillside overlooking the Rotary District 5000 Legacy Forest in Lai'e. Totalling 9,420 native trees that Rotary volunteers have planted by hand! These hala, ma'o, lonomea, and wiliwili plants have a good chance of surviving with the care from the Hawaiian Legacy

The steep and rocky hillside overlooking the Rotary Legacy Forest was teeming with Rotarians and their families and friends when Eco Rotary of Kakaʻako held their Volunteer Service Day in mid-January. Someday, that hillside will be a blanket of white Maʻo cotton and other native Hawaiian plants. Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative is grateful for the Rotarians' commitment to Hawaii and our environment.
