PBR HAWAII was honored to have Senior VP Catie Cullison and Planner Makena Bassett attend and present at the National Outdoor Recreation Conference (NORC) in Duluth, Minnesota. Makena was also a recipient of the Society of the Outdoor Recreation Professionals (SORP) New Professional Scholarship.

The conference provided an opportunity to engage with outdoor recreation professionals from across the country, exchange ideas, and explore innovative approaches to planning, stewardship, and community engagement. We are proud to have contributed to the conference discourse through a presentation on the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail Interpretive Plan, delivered alongside project lead, Jackson Bauer of Nā Ala Hele and team members Julie Davis of 106 Group and Lokelani Brandt of

The Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail is a 175-mile corridor on Hawaiʻi Island that encompasses a network of ancient, historic, and modern trails. Spanning a complex mosaic of land ownership and management, the trail presents unique challenges and opportunities for stewardship, access, interpretation, and cultural preservation.

Our presentation shared how the project team moved beyond conventional planning approaches and embraced a process grounded in Hawaiian ways of learning: centering relationships, respect, and intentional listening. Through this work, the team developed an interpretive plan focused on reconnecting people, history, culture, and place. The session explored how planning can move beyond traditional jurisdictional boundaries, elevate community knowledge, and recognize trail corridors as layered landscapes shaped by generations of stories, practices, and stewardship.

Mahalo nui to SORP and NORC for creating opportunities to learn from and contribute to a nationwide community of outdoor recreation professionals. We are grateful to support projects that honor place, foster meaningful connections, and help steward Hawaiʻi’s unique cultural and natural resources for future generations.

E mau ko kākou hele ma nā ala i maʻa i ka hele ʻia e ko kākou mau mākua.
May our journey continue on the paths well worn by the footsteps of our ancestors.

Hale O Pi‘ikea is a three-phase rental community delivering 223 homes for families, individuals and kūpuna. The development also includes amenities such as community spaces, a garden, parking, and access to supportive services like financial counseling and job readiness programs. PBR HAWAII’s landscape design for Hale O Pi‘ikea is based on the Kīhei landscape guidelines and Maui County Planting Plan that incorporates a combination of native and ornamental plant materials. The landscape includes parking lot trees, perimeter hedges, and a small public garden in the center of the site.
