PILIHALE FOUNDATION envisions a sustainable Hawai‘i where natural heritage and local culture are protected, celebrated, and passed on to future generations.
Native tree planting and coastal ecosystem recovery to prevent erosion and revive biodiversity.
Partnering with local artisans and cultural groups to safeguard living heritage through community projects.
Hands-on workshops and micro-classes promoting zero-waste practices and sustainable living.
Join as a volunteer, share ideas, or provide funding to help deliver community-led projects. Your support scales local impact for Hawai‘i’s future.
Island-wide coastal cleanup and native replanting on Oʻahu.
Multi-year native forest restoration across Koʻolau slopes to stabilize soil and revive habitat.
At a past Green Day, a 9-year-old named Kealoha told volunteers, “I want my grandchildren to still see green forests and hear birds sing on our islands.” This simple wish continues to inspire our community to act—one small step at a time—for a resilient Hawai‘i.
