Giving Day Priorities

A living sanctuary for conservation, culture, and discovery

Nestled in the back of Mānoa Valley, the Harold L. Lyon Arboretum serves as a vital research and education center dedicated to conserving tropical plant biodiversity and connecting it to Hawai‘i’s cultural knowledge. With more than 6,000 plant taxa and a century‑long legacy of restoration, stewardship, and community learning, Lyon Arboretum cultivates a deeper understanding of Hawai‘i’s plant diversity — and the responsibility we share in protecting it. Your Giving Day gift strengthens programs that conserve rare plants, support research, and offer hands‑on learning for keiki, students, and the wider community.

How you can support the Lyon Arboretum this Giving Day!
