Hawaii Environmental Restoration (HER) is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the Keauohana State Forest Reserve, the largest intact lowland rainforest in Hawaii, focusing on controlling invasive species and planting native flora. Since 2014, HER has expanded its efforts to steward hundreds of acres in the Puna District, providing habitat for rare and endangered species while engaging the community through volunteer opportunities and educational outreach. With a commitment to environmental sustainability, HER operates a native plant nursery in Kapoho and has successfully engaged over 530 volunteers, contributing thousands of hours to restoration projects. The organization emphasizes the importance of community involvement and education, offering presentations and volunteer events to promote awareness of native forest conservation and sustainable living practices in Hawaii.
