The 1,000 Tree Giveaway
Sponsored by the Manoa Outdoor Circle and Malama Manoa
The 1,000 Tree Giveaway on Saturday, July 18, 2020, was a resounding success!
Over 1,000 trees were given to community members.
Thank you to all attended the event, all the volunteers who helped the event go smoothly,
and all those who supported us with donations and advice.
Special thanks to the Honolulu Christian Church for allowing us to host the event on their property.
For those who will be planting a tree,
thank you for helping us keep Hawai‘i clean, green, and beautiful.
We could not do it without You!
Why give away 1,000 trees? “Our urban forest is diminishing day by day,” said Dr. Jeremy Lam, chair of the event.
“We hope the community will join us in this small step to increase the shade, diminish the glare,
and make our island healthier and more beautiful.”
A few more benefits trees bring to urban areas:
• Well-chosen landscaping increases the value of a property and its desirability. Mature trees enhance a property’s appearance.
• Neighborhoods with tree-shaded streets can be as much as 10 degrees cooler in the summer than nearby neighborhoods that have no shade.
• Air quality is improved. Trees give off oxygen.
• Trees help anchor soil to prevent erosion and reduce sedimentary runoff.
• Trees play an important role in deadening noise and absorbing unwanted sound.
The Manoa Branch of the Outdoor Circle was formed in 2014 and works to keep Hawai‘i clean, green and beautiful.
Malama Manoa was founded in January 1992. Its mission is to promote community; to celebrate our cultural diversity
and heritage; to preserve, protect and enhance the special qualities of historic Manoa Valley.

in Manoa Valley was not just another patch of green grass with a swing set on it. Read the entire article.
