More than 1,000 trees and plants will be given away, free of charge.

The Manoa branch of the Outdoor Circle and Malama Manoa will host a “1,000 Tree Giveaway” on Sunday, April 24, from 8 a.m.-noon, at Manoa Valley District Park Pavilion.

“Our urban forest is diminishing day by day,” said event chair Jeremy Lam. “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.”

Attendees will be given a choice from dozens of fruit, shade, and endemic trees including kukui nut, mountain apple, coconut, kamani nut, plumeria, sea grape, hau, monkey pod, papaya and avocado trees; as well as monstera, spider lilies, taro, aloe, valentine vines, staghorn ferns, dracaena and grape ivy.

Arborists will be on hand to answer questions and give advice on the care and planting of trees. Boy Scouts from Troop One will assist with loading.

The Manoa Branch of the Outdoor Circle was formed in 2014 and works to keep Hawaii clean, green and beautiful. Malama Manoa was founded in January 1992.
