Since the arrival of man in the Hawaiian Islands, over half of the native forests have been lost. Since its inception in 2014, The Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative (HLRI) has been working hard to reverse this trend and return these forests to the native landscape. Working together with community minded businesses, non profits and individual Legacy Tree sponsors, more than 500,000 endemic trees now cover nearly 1200 acres in the state’s first Hawaiian Legacy Forest.

To commemorate the Filipino Jaycees' 50th anniversary and commit to our kuleana to be good stewards of the islands we call home, we are supporting the Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative (HLRI, Legacytrees.org) - a non-profit organization founded in 2014 that works to preserve economically viable and sustainable endemic/native Hawaiian forests, protect Hawaii’s endangered species, sequester carbon, and recharge watersheds.
