Help and support each other by practicing social distancing and stand 6 feet apart between you and others.

Take care of your own health and hygiene by washing your hands for 20 seconds, and to use our hand sanitizing dispensers around the property.
Mahalo nui no ke kākoʻo ʻana iā Loko Ea me ka laulima e mālama i ke ola o ka ʻāina a me ka lāhui
Mahalo nui for supporting Loko Ea by working together to take care of the health and well-being of the land and our community.
