The hardest part of restoration isn’t getting started—it’s coming back again…and again… and again.

People think once an area looks green again, the work is done.

In reality, that’s when some of the most important work begins.

The invasive species never stop trying to take over, so our Restoration Maintenance Team keeps returning to sites we’ve spent years restoring. We’re protecting the progress that’s been made and giving native vegetation the space it needs to come back stronger.

This isn’t the flashy part of restoration work. It’s the maintenance, the follow-through, and the commitment to making sure all those hours of work weren’t just a temporary fix—and it’s a reminder that recovery isn’t a one-time project. It’s a long-term commitment.

Mahalo to everyone helping make this work possible. If you’d like to support these efforts, please consider donating through the link in our bio. 💚🌱

Mahalo to our incredible volunteers for giving your time, energy, and heart to our community. Your willingness to help your neighbors and care for Kula is what makes all of this possible.

What a great evening of stories, laughter, and community.

Mahalo to everyone who came out, grabbed a beer, pulled up a chair, and joined us for another Kūpuna Talk Story. A special thank you to Doug & Anne Sheehan for taking us down memory lane and sharing their experiences of life in Kula through the years. Your stories helped bring a piece of our community’s history to life.

And a big shoutout to Shannon for stepping in as MC and keeping the conversation flowing. We missed Kyle, but Shannon definitely held down the fort.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who showed up. These gatherings are a reminder that some of the best ways to strengthen community are simply to listen, learn, and connect with one another.

We’ll see you next Monday, June 29, for Wine & Wattle. 🍷🌿

No more invasive weeds, wattle, or overgrown vegetation.

Same property. Different future.

What was once difficult to access is now cleared and ready for what comes next.

Most people rebuilding after the fire already have enough on their plate.

That’s why having a nearby place to dispose of construction debris can make a real difference. Instead of making multiple trips to the landfill, they can focus their time, energy, and resources on rebuilding what matters most.

Our construction dumpsters are just one of the many community services helping Kula recover—reducing costs, saving time, and removing one more hurdle for those working to rebuild their homes and lives.

To keep this program available, please help us use the dumpsters responsibly:
• No batteries
• No paint or hazardous materials
• No chemicals
• No dead animals
• No items prohibited from landfill disposal

When used correctly, these dumpsters can continue serving the people who need them most.

Programs like this are made possible through the generosity of our community. If you’d like to help support services that directly benefit Kula residents, you can learn more or make a donation through the link in our bio.

Mahalo for helping us take care of each other. 🌱

Do you remember the movie theater in Kula? 🎬

That was just one of the many stories we learned last night during Rosie Medeiros’ incredible Manaʻo on the Mountain talk. From fascinating memories of Kula’s past to stories that connected us more deeply to this place we call home, it was an evening that left us wanting more.

Mahalo to Rosie for sharing her knowledge and stories, and to everyone who came out and filled the room with great conversation, curiosity, and plenty of ono food.

Events like these remind us that a strong, resilient community is built by coming together, sharing stories, and learning from one another.

We can’t wait to see you at our next community event. Check out our Instagram and website for upcoming gatherings and ways to get involved.
