Mālama ʻĀina - Volunteer

Mahalo for your interest in volunteering with us in the Waikōloa Dry Forest Preserve!

The Hawaiian value of Mālama ‘Āina, to take care of the land, is one that we hold in high regard in our community and our community is integral to our strategy for restoring the forest. Volunteers have provided the hard work and dedication that it takes to rehabilitate our native ecosystem and have achieved amazing results in the preserve. Together, we build trails, clear weeds, plant trees, collect native seeds, and propagate the plants that will grow into our future forests.

We provide tools, gloves, safety equipment, and water, but please bring sun protection, a refillable water bottle, and sturdy shoes. We meet at the Waikōloa Dry Forest Preserve front gate at 8 am and finish with refreshments at 12 pm.
