Through four interwoven program areas, Hoʻoulu ʻĀina seeks to provide people of our ahupuaʻa and beyond the freedom to make connections and build meaningful relationships with the ʻāina, each other and ourselves. Here, the community comes together around forest, food, knowledge, spirituality, and healthy activity. As we restore this land to wholeness, giving back the values of our ancestors, we remember that healing is reciprocal. Come kaheāwai - flow like water - in our work together with Hoʻoulu ʻĀina staff to pull weeds, take care of native forest and food plants, and mālama streambeds, trails, and pathways. Hāna Kahe Wai workdays call attention to native reforestation and agroforestry to helo restore Kalihiʻs watershed and our communityʻs waiwai. TO BE PREPAREDWear boots/shoes that you don't mind getting dirtyWear long sleeves and long pantsBe prepared to use tools such as pick, shovel, ʻōʻō, and machete (if you have your own, please bring!!).Bring filled reusable water bottleBring timesheetDIRECTIONSHoʻoulu ʻĀina is located at the very end of Kalihi Street.
