Join Mike DeMotta at Keoki’s Paradise Aug. 12 2024 on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai Hawaii on for a talk about traditional Hawaiian understanding of the forests and their place in it and a deeper understanding of why plants are so important to the Hawaiian culture.
Mike is the Biocultural Conservation Practitioner, Native Plant Propagator, Hawaiian Cultural Practitioner, and former Curator of Living Collections at the National Tropical Botanical Garden.
Keoki’s responsibility is to mālama ‘āina (care for the land) and always leave things better than you found them. They are proud of relationships with local nonprofits, like the National Tropical Botanical Garden, that kōkua (help) the efforts to mālama ‘āina.
Learn how you can mālama ‘āina with our “Talk Story to Mālama O Ka ‘Āina” (to respect and care for the land), an educational enrichment program cultivating the awareness of important environmental issues around Kaua‘i.
