Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative

Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative (hlri) has participated in taking 1,000 acres of denuded pastureland and reestablished an entire intact endemic ecosystem (the world's first Hawaiian Legacy forest). Hlri has planted endemic trees on the islands of Hawaii and oahu and has commitments for nearly 2,000,000 more over the coming years - well on its way to surpassing its original goal of planting 1.3 million trees (one for each man, woman, and child in Hawaii). During 2022, hlri has planted approximately 24,510 trees. Hlri has been recognized globally for groundbreaking innovations. Through state-of-the-art technologies and proprietary forest management practices, hlri is promoting long-term forest health, carbon sequestration, ecosystem diversity, and unparalleled data collection for research and development, all while creating green jobs for Hawaii families. During 2022, hlri has made grants of 3,630 to other charitable organizations in connection with its program to plant Legacy trees. Most importantly, it tries hard to do all of this in a way that honors the Hawaiian culture.
