PRFT’s mission is focused on the sustainability of the Waimea community, the hometown of Parker Ranch, by providing perpetual support for PRFT’s four Waimea-based beneficiaries: Queens North Hawai‘i Community Hospital, Hawai‘i Preparatory Academy, Parker School Trust Corporation and the Richard Smart Fund of the Hawai‘i Community Foundation. Parker Ranch, Inc., established in 1995 and wholly-owned by PRFT, continues cattle ranching and is proactively leveraging its and the trust’s extensive land and natural resources to support the trust’s beneficiaries, achieve a secure energy future, expand the sustainability of local food systems, and facilitate the general betterment of the Waimea area.

5-7 months of care, one special moment of release. 🐦

Through our partnership with Kanu o ka ʻĀina and its animal husbandry program, students spent a good part of the year caring for nearly 100 birds, preparing them for life in the wild.

Last week, they watched their hard work come full circle as they released the birds into their new home.

A beautiful lesson in mālama, kuleana, and connection to ‘āina. Mahalo to the students, Kumu and everyone involved to make this annual bird release so special. We’re so grateful for this partnership.
