Is CRB bringing out your inner Mean Girl? Vent it out and DM us your nastiest burns! (We’ll keep you anonymous.) Better yet, come join us in-person at the CRB Community Day, this Thursday 1 PM - 4 PM at UH West Oʻahu to add your burn to the CRB Burn Book.

We’re putting all our CRB frustration into this book so we can all spend the afternoon moving forward together with CRB managers from across the Pacific, community organizations, cultural practitioners, agency representatives, and more. See you there, and YES, you can sit with us ;)

Another crafternoon in Kalanimoku’s Native Garden 🪴

Creating art is just one of many ways we connect to the plants in our green spaces. Today, we worked with maiʻa, lāʻī, ʻahuʻawa, and various natives to revamp clothing, make patches, and craft gifts. 🌱

The resources our community forests give us are unbounded. From food to craft, they feed us mind, body, and soul. 🌿

Mahalo to everyone who came out today! 🤎

This summer we had the opportunity to engage with HIDOE educators who were interested in learning more about native plants and bringing them into their classrooms. 🌱

Their passion for place-based education was inspiring, and it’s always a great time supporting teacher efforts in connecting their students to ʻāina. 🌏

Mahalo to Healthy Climate Communities for connecting us with some campus-friendly natives. From seed propagation to hands-on practices such as cordage making, we had a great time tagging along with these awesome teachers. 🌿

Hauʻoli lā hoʻihoʻi ea 💙

This hoʻihoʻi ea, we want to emphasize the truth that it is through Indigenous knowledge and stewardship that Hawaiʻi thrives. Kaulunani’s mission is and will always be supporting and uplifting the capacity for the people of Hawaiʻi to have autonomy over their community forests. With a focus on working class and Native Hawaiian communities, we aim to amplify voices and support efforts to build a stronger, more resilient Hawaiʻi through restorative and environmental justice. 🥥

Mahalo to our partners Puʻuhonua Society and NiuNow for joining us in celebration, and mahalo to all who stopped by and weaved with us! 🌴

A little recap of our recent visits with the Waikīkī-Kapahulu Library! 🌴

This July, weavers from NiuNow and Kaulunani Urban & Community Forestry Program hosted two workshops for makua and keiki, with the intention of connecting folks to our tree of life. We had an amazing time teaching, learning, and connecting to everyone who joined us. 🥥

Mahalo to the Waikīkī-Kapahulu Library for being such great partners and resource for folks who are wanting to spend more time in community. Make sure to come visit them and say hi to the kumuniu nestled next to their building!

See you at the next one 🌴🤎

Kaula Hau workshop 🪢

Hau is a huge part of our community forests, used for lei, cordage, and dye for generations. The process of making kaula hau reminds us strength comes from time, care, and connection.

Mahalo to our DOFAW friends for coming and spending time with our team, and mahalo to our Community Coconut folks for their ʻike. 🌱

Last week, weavers from and .now collaborated and hosted two launiu basket workshops as part of Spring Classes. 🌸

Ulana: To weave. When we weave, we connect with the plant our materials come from and in turn, the ʻāina in which it grew. We put our energy into every move, weaving in our people and their stories as we go. To weave is to perpetuate history, culture, storytelling, and the irreplaceable and integral relationship we have with ʻāina. When we weave, we build relationship, community, and a foundation for which we lean on as we fight for equity and environmental justice in Hawaiʻi.

Mahalo for Foster Botanical Gardens for hosting us! If you’re interested in what classes has to offer, follow the link in their bio to find and sign up for their Summer selection. 🌴
