​(Supporters of Puʻu Kukui Watershed Preserve)

The challenges facing nature are unprecedented and we need every passionate supporter like you to join us. In 2015, rainfall at Pu’u Kukui fell from 380 to 214 inches. If you believe we have a responsibility to protect our primary source of water on Maui, now’s the time to put your values into
action. If you’re concerned about the natural world we’re leaving for our children and grandchildren, you should be standing with us. You can make a
difference!

Puʻu Kukui Watershed Preserve

​Have you ever wondered where your drinking water comes
from? Well, more than 70% of Maui’s population receives its
water from the 2nd wettest spot “in the world”! That’s right!
Mauna Kahālāwai, known to most as the West Maui Mountains,
attracts nearly 400 inches of rainfall each year and is 2nd only to
Kauai’s mount Wai‘ale‘ale. At the top of Mauna Kahālāwai sits
the Pu‘u Kukui Watershed Preserve which is home to our native
Hawaiian tropical rainforest and provides water to communities
from northern most Kapalua and Kahakuloa, all the way south to
Wailea and Makena. Pu‘u Kukui Watershed Preserve is the
largest private nature preserve in Hawai’i and extends across
more than 9,000 acres
