Aloha 'āina, mālama 'āina
(Love, respect and take care of the land)
Aloha and welcome to the Lauhalaland website! Lauhalaland is a privately owned and managed coastal forest preserve with the goal to preserve and make use of this special piece of land in an open, loving and respectful way.
Our main focus lies in supporting native plant growth by removing invasive species, planting native keikis in their place, helping them grow.
We respect fishing and cultural heritage rights, and want to promote environmental awareness.
Fishermen welcome!
Please help to keep the ‘āina clean. Mahalo!
