This Low-Impact Development project retrofitted 12,000 sq. ft. of an existing parking lot owned by City and County of Honolulu Parks Department adjacent to Ka'elepulu Stream in Kailua to improve the quality of stormwater runoff. Pervious pavers were installed in the parking area to capture stormwater runoff and reduce the amount of pollution reaching the stream. Additionally, the project improved 360 feet of riparian habitat through the installation of native plants and rain gardens to capture additional stormwater and allow for infiltration before polluted water has a chance to enter Ka'elepulu Stream.
Volunteer to help maintain this native garden in urban Kailua while learning about native Hawaiian plants and local watershed issues. Volunteers are asked to wear closed toe shoes and work clothes that they don't mind getting wet and dirty, bring a water bottle, snack and work gloves if you would like them. All tools will be provided.We offer a variety of regularly scheduled events each month and we can work with your group to arrange a private weekday service trip or educational visit. The best way see what events we have coming up and which would be the best fit for you is by visiting the Get Involved page on our website and signing up to receive our monthly newsletter. http://www.huihawaii.org/get-involved.html. Feel free to call or e-mail me if you have any additional questions.

Mission Statement
Protecting ocean health by restoring the aina: mauka to makai.
Description
The mission of Hui o Koolaupoko is to protect ocean health by restoring the aina: mauka to makai.
Throughout the Koolaupoko moku (Makapuu to Kualoa) in Windward Oahu, land-based pollution is a leading threat to ocean health and resources. Hui o Koolaupoko (HOK) addresses these problems by being a leader in community-based watershed management; working with communities to improve water quality through ecosystem restoration, implementing low-impact retrofits (LIR), reducing non-point source pollution and developing education, outreach and volunteer programs for all ages.
Along with HOK’s restoration work in Koolaupoko, the organization provides services including technical consultation, restoration design, trainings and watershed restoration capacity building throughout Oahu and the State of Hawaii.
