Storming into 2022

Jan-Feb Recap:

The start of the year has been a sprint! You may have spotted us around the island. We had participants and volunteers at multiple events including the prestigious HURT 100 of which ULOHA is a Partner.

Pictured left is Matt mid-stride with Nandor on his heels.

On February 5th we sponsored the Makahiki Challenge at Kualoa Ranch and several of our staff ran the courses.

That same weekend we were in the field volunteering with the Department of State Parks at Ka'ena Point.

We removed invasive plants to restore habitat for the critically imperiled Hawaiian yellow-faced bee (Hylaeus anthracinus).

Here's a short list of some upcoming events to look out for:

3/5 - Department of State Parks Volunteer Day at Ka'ena Point
3/6 - Hapalua: King's Runner 10K
3/12 - The North Shore Triathlon
3/19 - HURT's: Aiea Express - details TBA
