The Nāhelehele Dryland Forest Symposium integrates education, cultural programs, indigenous knowledge, and science to build healthier connections between Hawaiʻi’s people and the native dry forest. The Symposium will highlight Hawaiʻi-wide efforts to restore and conserve the biocultural resources of our native dryland forest.
The Symposium will be held at the Waikōloa Beach Marriott from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Registration will include a full day of exciting presentations and discussions, lunch, and a pau hana reception to extend your networking time. Non-profit organizations, public agencies, and commercial enterprises working to protect dryland forest ecosystems will be displaying educational materials at the symposium.
Mahalo to Kaʻahahui o ka Nāhelehele and the Waikoloa Foundation for their partnership in hosting the Dryland Forest Symposium.
