Reforest the Future Event
Event details
Field Immersion: Hawaiʻi
- Dates:
- October 13–15, 2026
- Location:
- Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi
When a forest comes back, life returns with it: native species, watersheds, livelihoods, and the communities whose futures are tied to the land.
This October we’re inviting a select group to spend two and a half days on the island where Terraformation’s model began. Step inside a seed bank. Walk the land with the people who tend it. See restoration at every stage: cleared land, first plantings, and forest taking hold.
Join our team on the ground to experience Hawai‘i as our team knows it, with access you won’t find on any itinerary. Attendees will connect with Hawai‘i’s roots, our people, and see firsthand how Terraformation's work is helping scale reforestation for the future.
About Terraformation
From Hawaiʻi to the world
Our mission
Terraformation was founded in Hawaiʻi by Yishan Wong with an ambitious mission: to restore degraded land into thriving ecosystems that benefit climate, biodiversity and human well-being.
Terraformation 2.0
Six years later, that vision has taken Terraformation from Hawai‘i to communities around the world—and deepened our understanding of how to restore native forests at scale. Our next chapter unites innovation, capacity building, landscape restoration, and a global movement to accelerate high-integrity reforestation.
Event highlights
Preliminary Agenda
We’re convening a group of forest leaders: project developers with boots on the ground, funders deploying capital, corporate partners with nature commitments, and community advisors whose knowledge and land tenure make restoration possible in the first place.

ABOUT THE ITINERARY
The itinerary includes excursions to Terraformation project sites across Hawai‘i Island, plus workshops and meetings with community leaders to advance honest conversations about what enables or stalls the protection of biodiverse ecosystems.
Featured speakers
Attendees will hear from keynote speaker and Terraformation President Jad Daley and a roster of practitioners who are shaping what the next chapter of Terraformation Hawai‘i looks like.
