#Lahaina Treescape Restoration Project

Healthy, viable trees, especially native species, enhance environmental health and help mitigate fire risk. However, social media posts following the wildfires seemed to fuel the notion, and the calls, that people should chop their trees down.

The banyan is not the only tree receiving attention from a group of volunteer arborists and landscapers who have banded together as the Lāhainā Treescape Restoration Project.
