Kilauea Lava Flow Restoration Kalapana Hawaii Kaimu Beach

Planting coconuts on the Kalapana lava flow in Hawaii. It can take a long time for plants to grow on a lava flow naturally.

What a wonderful community project to re, -establish the coco but palms. I love the idea and the people for bringing back what was lost

Thank you for posting this Gabe. When I first started watching, I thought it was the lava flows from last summer. It's amazing to me that vegetation of some sort has not already taken root en masse on the 30 or so year old lava flows. It's still so barren. It's so wonderful to see so many folk working together at something so important to the environment, giving Mother Nature a helping hand instead of trying to impede and destroy her efforts. Would have loved to have been there, even to plant just one coconut tree!

Amazing community spirit, thanks for sharing this with us Gabe, Aloha

One thing that always struck me watching videos about the recent eruption was how small plants, particularly ferns, were so pervasive on the older flows. As a Californian, I've seen how quickly vegetation can reclaim burned areas with even minimal human help; seeing this assisted reclamation is educational and heartening. Thanks for posting this, and long may the Islands be green!
