So many of us living on or visiting the Kohala Coast are in awe of the constant, yet ever changing beauty. We want to do our part to protect and keep our surroundings beautiful. That’s why “Keep Puako Beautiful” and “Hawaii Wildlife Fund” will team up with Keep Hawaii Beautiful, Recycle Hawaii, Hawaii State Parks, and Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail to host a shoreline hiking clean-up in honor of National Trails Day.
Volunteers from a previous event included a group of motivated keiki (kids) from N. Kohala

Help Keep The Kohala Coast a Beautiful Place to Live and Visit
