How to Heal Maui Through Trees and Tourism

Matt Murasko, co-founder of Treecovery Hawaii, and Kimo Simpliciano, operational manager, talk with Alan Fine of Insider Travel Report about the nonprofit’s mission to reforest Maui with 30,000 trees following the August 2023 wildfires. Murasko explains how travel advisors and visitors can support the effort through donations and private farm experiences and describes the symbolic restoration of Lahaina’s 153-year-old banyan tree.
