and HOW YOU CAN HELP

Punalu'u has been a living classroom for centuries and if protected, can continue to be an "Eco-Campus" for students and educators from around the world. With public input and community involvement we can create a positive vision that comes from people of Ka'u who have protected its resources for nearly two thousand years. We welcome your involvement, ideas and participation to help save this invaluable natural resource before it is too late.

Working together we can preserve Punalu'u forever as a living classroom and as an essential gathering place for local families, fishermen and cultural practitioners.

for the children

The annual summer cultural and environmental education program "Kukulu Kumuhana o Ka‘u" continues in its 16th year at Punalu`u for kamali‘i (students), that are seven to seventeen years old. Founded in 1990, by Keolalani Hanoa (July, 1960-March, 2006) the program allows students to learn about their history, culture, customs, traditions, protocols and the protection of our environment: mauka (mountains) to makai, immersing students in traditional Hawaiian Teaching "Hands on Experiencing."
