Arbor Day is a formally designated holiday around the world dedicated to honoring, planting and enjoying the benefits of trees.

It has been recognized in Hawai’i for over 110 years, and every November communities across the islands gather to celebrate trees!

November marks the beginning of the rainy season in Hawai‘i, which is the perfect time to plant a tree! Arbor Day in Hawai’i officially falls on the first Friday in November, however, tree giveaways and celebrations across the state typically take place on the first Saturday.

Most Arbor Day celebrations will take place on Saturday, November 2nd 2024. Stay up to date with Arbor Day 2024 events and grant funding opportunities by following the Kaulunani Instagram page or the Arbor Day Hawaiʻi Facebook page.
