Showing up is one thing. Showing up when you say you will, every.single.time, is another.

Trust is built by showing up, keeping your word, and coming back day after day. Because recovery isn’t a one-time effort. It takes consistency, follow-through, and knowing that no task is too small to matter.

Because recovery takes more than good intentions. It takes people who show up and follow through.

Get involved. Show up for Kula.

🌱 Day 1 of trying new ways of getting rid of wattle.

Today’s method only takes a few steps: cut it low, peel the bark down to the ground, and pack dirt around the exposed area.

No poison ☠️ . No chemicals 🧪. Just a chainsaw, a little technique, and… dirt.

Have you tried this method before? Let us know in the comments.
Don’t miss out on day 2!

Follow along to see what we try next — and tag someone who’s been battling wattle and needs to see this. 😉

After Hurricane Lala caused significant damage across Upcountry Maui, our crew kept showing up throughout September. Working from ʻUlupalakua to Lower Kimo Drive to help Kula recover.

🌳 Cleared downed branches and fallen trees, including chainsawing hazardous trees

🏠 Helped a kūpuna whose roof was damaged by the storm and who was living under a tarp by delivering roofing materials to help get her home protected

♻️ Kept free community green waste bins available so residents could safely dispose of storm-damaged debris

🚛 Generated hundreds of cubic yards of wood chips and donated them FREE of charge to dozens of Kula residents and farmers

🌱 Our Maintenance Team worked three days a week removing invasive weeds, spreading wood chips, and helping care for properties as they continue to recover

🌧️ Helped reduce the risk of flooding, erosion, mudslides, and landslides

🎤 Traveled to California to share what we’ve learned from our experience after the fires

🤝 Held two community events: Volunteer Day and Kūpuna Talk Story

Rain or shine, storm after storm, we kept showing up for Kula.

Month after month, we’re committed to caring for this place and the people who call it home.

Because of this incredible community and your kind donations, we’re able to keep showing up. 💚

Aloha in Action is coming back—and we’re looking for our community to help make this year’s gala possible. 🌿

We’re currently looking for table sponsors and auction prizes for Mālama Kula’s 2nd Annual Aloha in Action Fundraising Gala on November 6th.

Whether you’re interested in sponsoring a table, donating an auction item, or connecting us with a local business that might be interested, we’d love to hear from you.

Comment “SPONSOR” below and we’ll send you the sponsor deck with all the details.

These wood chips didn’t even leave Keokea.

They came from fallen trees on this road, were turned into chips by our paid crews, and then a group of volunteers from Praying Pelican Mission came in with pitchforks, shovels, wheelbarrows and sleds to spread them across this flood-damaged area.

That’s what makes the volunteer piece so valuable. We have paid crews working five and six days a week, but volunteers help us leverage that work and get so much more done.

And all those chips now sitting on this bare dirt can hold up to twice their own weight in water — thousands of gallons when you add it all up — helping the ground absorb more of the next rain instead of letting it run straight off.

From fallen trees on the road, to chips, to helping this ground recover. All in the same community.

Fridays are our restoration days.

Monday through Thursday, we’re doing a lot of clearing. Then Friday, we switch gears — we’re fencing, we’re planting, and we’re putting good back into the earth.

And it’s not just native species. We’re also putting in food-producing crops, so we have an opportunity to bring back native plants, help establish watershed health, and grow more food at the same time.

It’s something we started this year, and now every Friday is a planting day.

Mālama Kula provides FREE green waste bins for community use, so our neighbors can clear safely and keep Kula fire-resilient.

So far, together we’ve removed:

🗑️ 268 LARGE BINS
📦 6,523 cubic yards of green waste

🛻 If a small pickup can carry ∼1 cubic yard...
That’s 6,523 trips to the landfill that Kula residents didn’t have to make.

And all that green waste stayed OUT of Kula gulches.

Result: more defensible space, less fire fuel, and a safer Kula for everyone.

Mahalo to everyone who filled a bin, hauled, and helped.

Learn more about our programs and results on our website.

Comment IMPACT and we’ll send you the link.

What if we started the week with fewer meetings and more dirt on our hands? 🌱✋

At Mālama Kula, we don’t spend much time sitting around a conference table. Whether it’s a phone call or a meeting, we try to find ways to get things done while we’re out in the field.

Because at the end of the day, there’s work to be done in Kula. And we’d rather spend those hours out here making it happen.

Here’s to making the most of our time this week. Less sitting around, more showing up for our community. 🙌
