“Hawaiian legacy reforestation initiative (hlri) is dedicated to creating innovative native/endemic reforestation models that are scientifically, economically, and ecologically self-sustaining. These forests produce green jobs in forestry and other forest related occupations as well as recharge our watershed, sequester carbon from our atmosphere, enhance biodiversity, support the hawaiian culture, and involve the local business community and the public, inspiring active participation in being part of the solution.”

“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). As of 2024, hlri manages three native forest locations on the islands of hawaii and oahu for a combined total of over 1,500 acres. Hlri 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 2024, hlri has planted approximately 24,449 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. We are not just planting a tree and walking away. We care about survival rates - that's why we geo-tag every single tree. Hlri is the only reforestation project in hawaii that can account for every single tree planted. Our success comes from the cumulative approach - it's not just about planting trees. From the native forests exists hawaii's rich culture, arts, and history. Our approach of combining community, cultural engagement, keiki education, ecotourism and ecosystem integration takes what are traditionally separate enterprises and integrates them into a synergistic model. During 2024, hlri has made grants of 3,660 to other charitable organizations.”
