# UH Ecosystems & Landcare Program

> The University of Hawaiʻi Ecosystems and Landcare Program connects people to information on restoration, plans for wildfire risk reduction, and develops seed production systems to support thriving landscapes across Hawaiʻi and the Pacific.

UHELP is part of University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Content here is written by program staff and practitioners; every record carries its source. Species occurrence data comes from iNaturalist and GBIF.
