Puu O Hoku Ranch

Our most important work at Pu’u O Hōkū is to restore the ‘aina (land in Hawaiian) of our beautiful ranch, from its green pastures that run up from coastal fishponds to Hālawa Valley and the sea cliffs that tower above it. We are working on the reforestation of the ahupua’a (or watershed) and reducing the number of deer and pigs in our forest, as well as the sustainable cultivation of our arable lands in order to realize a bountiful land economy. We believe that Pu’u O Hōkū, by preserving the fertile east end of Molokaʻi, has a special role to play in bringing the island closer to a food and energy self-sufficient community that can provide for generations to come.
