Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Cindy Blain, Luna Hoʻokele o Kaleponi ReLeaf, "Ua hauʻoli mākou e hana pū me kēia mau hoa maikaʻi a pau e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka Week Arbor California ma Oakland. He hoʻomanaʻo makahiki ʻo Arbor Week e hoʻomaha a hoʻolauleʻa i ka mana o ko mākou mau kumulāʻau kūlanakauhale a me nā kaiāulu e ulu a mālama iā lākou. ʻO nā kumulāʻau kahi hopena ikaika e pili ana i ke ʻano e hakakā ai i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau a e hana i kahi ʻokoʻa nui i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ke olakino lehulehu ma ko mākou mau kūlanakauhale - a he mea kūpono ia e hoʻolauleʻa ai!"
Hoʻokipa ʻo California ReLeaf, CAL FIRE, a me ka USFS i ke kākoʻo o Edison International a me Blue Shield o Kaleponi i kēia ʻike nui i ka waiwai o nā kumulāʻau. I kēia makahiki, hāʻawi manawaleʻa ʻo Edison International i $50,000 no nā haʻawina kanu lāʻau ʻo Arbor Week ma ko lākou ʻāina e kōkua i ke kaua ʻana i nā hanana wela loa ma Kaleponi Hema. Ua ʻike ʻo Edison a me nā luna olakino e pili ana nā hanana wela loa i ke olakino o ka lehulehu a he mea koʻikoʻi nā kumulāʻau.
e hoʻemi ana i ka hopena mokupuni wela o ke kūlanakauhale.
"Aia ʻo California ReLeaf i ka makemake a me ke akamai e hoʻoponopono maikaʻi i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi kaiapuni e pili ana i ko mākou kaiāulu, a haʻaheo ʻo Edison International e kākoʻo i nā hāʻawi kanu lāʻau Arbor Week no ka makahiki ʻelima," wahi a Alejandro Esparza, Luna Nui o Corporate Philanthropy and Community Engagement for Southern California Edison.

I kēia makahiki ke kākoʻo nei ʻo Blue Shield o Kaleponi i ka California Arbor Week Youth Poster Contest e kōkua i ke aʻo ʻana a me ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka hanauna hou e pili ana i ke koʻikoʻi o ka ulu ʻana a me ka pale ʻana i kā mākou nahele kūlanakauhale. ʻO ke kumumanaʻo o kēia makahiki ʻo “Trees Plant a Cooler Future.” Paipai ka hoʻokūkū noʻeau i nā keiki kula 5-12 makahiki e noʻonoʻo pehea e hiki ai i nā kumulāʻau ke kōkua i ko mākou kaiāulu i ʻoi aku ka maʻalili a olakino. Ua hoʻolaha ʻia ka poʻe lanakila o ka hoʻokūkū, a ua wehe ʻia kā lākou hana kiʻi i ka wā o ka hālāwai kūkā.
"He mālama olakino nā lāʻau," wahi a Antoinette Mayer, Hope Pelekikena o Corporate Citizenship ma Blue Shield o Kaleponi. “Hoʻomaikaʻi ka lāʻau paʻa i ke olakino noʻonoʻo a me ke kino, pale i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau a me ka haumia, a kōkua i ko mākou mau hoalauna e kūkulu i ke kaiāulu. Akā, ua haʻalele pinepine ʻia ko mākou mau kaiaulu i mālama ʻole ʻia. Haʻaheo ʻo Blue Shield o Kaleponi e hui pū me California ReLeaf e kākoʻo i kēia makahiki ʻo California Arbor Week Youth Artist Contest a hoʻokomo i nā ʻōpio i ka lilo ʻana i mau ʻelele kaiapuni e hana i ka wā e hiki mai ana a kūpono hoʻi no ka poʻe Kaleponi āpau.
Ke kākoʻo mau nei ʻo California Arbor Week i ka USFS a me CAL FIRE. Kākoʻo nā ʻoihana ʻelua i ke kanu ʻana i nā kumulāʻau kaiaulu ma nā kūlanakauhale o Kaleponi ma o ka hāʻawi kālā ʻana, ka hoʻonaʻauao, a me ka ʻike loea i ka manawa mau.
"Hoʻolaʻa ʻia ka ʻOihana Nahele no ka mālama ʻana i nā ululāʻau olakino a kūpaʻa - mai ko mākou mau kikowaena kūlanakauhale a hiki i ko mākou mau kūlanakauhale kuaʻāina," wahi a ka Hope Regional Forester Kara Chadwick. "Makemake mākou i ka nui o nā hui like ʻana o kēlā mau hui e hoʻomanaʻo i ka lā Arbor a me ka hana ʻana ma ko mākou ʻĀina e kanu a mālama i nā kumulāʻau e hoʻopau i ka hoʻokuʻu kalapona, hoʻomaikaʻi i ke olakino kaiāulu a me ka maikaʻi, a mālama i nā ululāʻau kūpaʻa i ke aniau no nā hanauna e hiki mai ana."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Walter Passmore, ka Mokuʻāina ʻo CAL FIRE ʻo Urban Forester, "ʻO nā kumulāʻau kūlanakauhale o Kaleponi e hoʻomalu i ka wela nui, hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ko mākou ea, a me ka wai, a hoʻomaha i ko mākou naʻau a me ko mākou kino.
