The Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative
Tumblr media
A graduate of Norwich University with a bachelor of science in business and economics, Jeffrey (Jeff) Dunster served in the United States Army and Hawaii National Guard. In his current role, Jeffrey Dunster is the executive director of the Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative (HLRI), an organization that works to provide sustainable forest restoration in the state. HLRI’s mission since 2014 has been working to undo the damage that mankind has brought to the native forests of Hawaii, half of which have been destroyed. Through strategic partnerships with local businesses, charitable organizations, and individual donors, the organization has been able to plant 1,200 acres of Hawaiian land with upwards of 400,000 trees native to the state. HLRI has a 50-year plan to renew forest ecosystems that not only support trees, but native wildlife that depend on the forest to thrive. Trained tree professionals will monitor the health of planted trees throughout their lifespan, replacing dead trees as necessary and relocating others depending on the overall health needs of the forest.
