About Kīpahulu
Located on the Island of Maui, Kīpahulu is in the ahupua‘a of Kaehoeho, Poponui, and Kakanoni. Gently rolling lands one can feel the Koholapehu and Koholalele winds in an area previously cultivated for sugarcane and then used for grazing by livestock. Moa (Psilotum nudum), ‘Ahu‘awa (Cyperus javanicus), Kaluhaluha (Cyperus polystachyos), Hala (Pandanus tectorius), and Naupaka Kahakai (Scaevola) are some of the plant species found there.
