The Kohala Center invites the community to a La ‘Ike Day celebration of culture and place. The Kahalu‘u ReefTeach team will share why coral reefs are important to our island way of life and update participants on current stewardship projects at the bay. Come and learn palapalai wili haku, the art of stringless lei making, with Kumu Mele Waikiki and fresh coconut leaf weaving with Kumu Sam Kama and his daughter Sandee Kama. Join in games for both adults and children and win fun prizes, and enjoy plenty of ono food and Hawaiian music too!
La ‘Ike Day at Kahalu‘u Bay is presented by The Kohala Center and is sponsored by the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority. All events are free and everyone is welcome to participate.

The Honaunau School garden, run by Melissa Chivers and Jessica Sobocinski, is more than just a place where flowers and vegetables grow; it is a living classroom where students and teachers can observe, interact with, and learn about the natural world that is responsible for supporting human existence on this planet.
Almost two years since it was completed, The Kohala Center’s Health Impact Assessment on Hawaii County’s Agriculture Plan has garnered national attention and helped produce meaningful effects on the local food system.
