Nāhelehele Dryland Forest Symposium

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.
