A grandson helps save his family's ancestral home
Mary Kawena Pukūʻi wrote more than fifty books about the language and culture of Hawaiʻi, helping spark a movement that celebrated Native Hawaiian identity. Today, her descendants are standing up to help save a landscape on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, where family ties and time-honored traditions unite people and the land across generations.

Updates across the country

New places to play in Atlanta
When students at Atlanta's Kimberly Elementary return to in-person learning, they'll find a brand new playground thanks to our Community Schoolyards program. Outside of school hours, the space will serve as a park for the whole neighborhood. Keep an eye out for news of more schoolyard sites opening in Atlanta and across the country this year.

We have seen during this pandemic just how vital access to the outdoors is for our well-being. In 2020, we celebrated the completion of the 20,000-acre South Puget Sound Coastal Forest project near Olympia, creating a 10-mile long conservation corridor, ensuring public recreation access, and forever protecting a working forest from development.
