Our organization began through the photography of Kelly Dunn. His prints of the the eucalyptus trees garnered worldwide attention through magazines, articles and social media. Over the years Mr. Dunn began to see the trees slowly disappearing in Hawaii. It was at this point that his passion was ignited and began laying the ground work to save these trees.

The Kona Cloud Forest is too beautiful to even describe. There is so much to do. It is pretty hard work but I call it a “labour of love”. It is like gardening but so much better because everything grows here without much effort! It is just so beautiful.
