Mission: LAND RESTORATION & CULTURAL REVITALIZATION MANAGEMENT.
Activities: Ka'Ehu continues to work with community organizations, the MPD Juvenile Crime Prevention Division and other agencies to provide team building activities, land restoration and cultural opportunities at Ka'Ehu Bay. Volunteers and staff work together to restore and maintain ancient taro patches, harvest taro, taro leaf, ulu, noni, and other traditional foods and medicinal plants. We will continue our work with youth to provide a healthy environment and place of learning.Over the past 30 years, board members of Ka'Ehu and Kauahea Inc., along with the Trust for Public Lands, have collected data and input from the community regarding the area. The community input will help guide the planning and development process of this pristine area.In July 2017, Ka'Ehu partnered with Hawaiian nonprofits and businesses to help restore the area and promote cultural practices. Our partners include Kauahea Inc., Hale Ho'olana, MAA (Makahiki Athletic Association), and PIKO (Planning Innovative Communities & Opportunities).
