Malama Manoa will host the 5th "1,000-TREE GIVEAWAY" on Sunday, April 29 at Manoa Valley District Park Pavilion. More than 1,000 trees and plants will be given away, free of charge, between the hours of 8 a.m. to 12 noon.


Event chairs Maile Au and Ahni-Kailea Stephens and ids, with plants being propagated for this year’s big give!

Why give away 1,000 trees? According to event chairs Maile Au and Ahni-Kailea Stephens, our urban forest is diminishing day by day. "We hope the community will join us in this small step to increase the shade, diminish the glare, and make our island healthier and more beautiful." The chairs noted:

Well-chosen landscaping increases the value of a property and its desirability. Mature trees enhance a property's appearance.

Neighborhoods with tree-shaded streets can be as much as 10 degrees cooler in the summer than nearby neighborhoods that have no shade.

Air quality is improved. Trees help anchor soil to prevent erosion. Trees reduce runoff. Trees play an important role in deadening noise and absorbing unwanted sound.

Attendees will be given a choice from dozens of fruit, shade, and endemic trees including kukui nut, mountain apple, Surinam cherry, plumeria, sea grape, hau, monkey pod, papaya and avocado trees; as well as monstera, spider lilies, taro, aloe, valentine vines, ferns, dracaena and grape ivy--and more!

Arborists will be on hand to answer questions and give advice on the care and planting of trees. Boy Scouts from Troop One will assist with loading.

For information contact Maile at 220-5008 or Ahni-Kailea at 282-6488.
