The Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative (HLRI) is a Hawaii-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2014 that works to reforest endemic trees and restore native habitat for wildlife.[1] This includes koa, ‘ōhi‘a, māmane, naio, ko‘oko‘olau, kūkaenēnē and ‘iliahi trees.[2][3]

History

HLRI is working to reforest 1.3 million endemic trees throughout Hawaii.[4] To date, it has reforested more than 400,000 trees [5] across 1,200 acres at Kukaiau Ranch along the Hamakua Coast of Hawaii Island.[3] In April 2017, HLRI expanded its Hawaii Island operations to a second location, at Kahua Ranch on the western slope of the Kohala Mountains, that will encompass 700 acres with 250,000 trees.[6][7] HLRI is expanding operations to the North Shore of Oahu at Gunstock Ranch at Malaekahana.[5]

Trees are planted through sponsorships and partnerships. Each tree is tagged with RFID chip and GPS technology, which track and verify health and growth characteristics.[8]

In 2014, HLRI was one of four international organizations recognized with the Phoenix Award by the Society of American Travel Writers for its work in conservation, preservation, beautification and anti-pollution campaigns.[8][9]

Multi-use agriculture components of the forest include Kona coffee farming and the harvesting of honey from koa tree blossoms.[10][11]

The current executive director is Jeff Dunster, and the current chairman is John Farias Jr.[12]
