Mālamalama Pālehua

Pono Bailey, a 16-year old student at Kapolei High School, has been leading a unique student project to protect and restore a native Hawaiian dry forest kīpuka at Pālehua in the Waiʻanae Mountains. He has been assisted by his teachers at Kapolei High and students from several schools, facilitated by the Mālama Learning Center and landowner, Gill ʻEwa Lands. Funding to support the Mālama Learning Center in this project is provided by the Kapa O Kakuhihewa Fund of the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation.
