He'eia Stream Riparian Restoration

The He'eia Stream Restoration Project aims to restore native vegetation along ~4,000 feet of riparian habitat in upper He'eia Stream. In addition to planting native trees and vegetation the project includes installing erosion control techniques to address eroding stream banks. Additionally, HOK will work with the residents in the He'eia watershed regarding techniques to reduce fertilizers applied to individual lawns and other methods to improve watershed health. Hawai'i Pacific University professors and students are participating to implement water quality and project effectiveness monitoring.

Since December 2009, nearly 3000 volunteers have dedicated more than 6000 hours to the He'eia Stream Restoration Project.

Workdays are held on the 3rd Saturday of every month from 8am to 12pm. For a list of upcoming workdays visit the Get Involved page and click here for driving directions.
