We enhance connections to ʻāina through education
-
We lead field trips with local schools, a summer program for area keiki, college courses, workshops, and training for community learners of all ages.
-
Our educational efforts center on learning stories, place names, land-use history, policy, and ecology of particular ʻāina while building capacity to care for these places across generations.
