Volunteer With Us!
Mahalo nui loa for your interest in helping out. Every single person really does make a difference, and you’re bound to learn something new along the way. As the saying goes, 'a'ohe hana nui ke alu 'ia, no task is too big when done together by all.
We have two volunteer stewardship sites: Waiheʻe Ridge Trail and Olowalu Valley.
Since our first Waiheʻe Ridge Trail hike in November 2012, our dedicated volunteers have made huge strides in battling strawberry guava and other invasive species. We are now into native seed collection and out-planting while maintaining the fight against invasive species.
We initiated stewardship work in Olowalu Valley in 2016, but with a new burst of funding we are diving headlong into the restoration of the Olowalu Stream corridor. While we are removing invasive species like kiawe and opiuma we are out-planting native species to restore the diverse ecosystem.
Check out this video about Waiheʻe Ridge Trail that was created by Maui Huliau Foundation students.

How to sign up
If you have a group, club, class, or team that would like to volunteer with us, write to us at aloha@maunakahalawai.org and we’ll get you scheduled for a hike of your own.
Otherwise, if you’re looking to volunteer as an individual, sign up to join our volunteer mailing list and get notified about our next opportunity!
During every stewardship hike we take some time to educate our volunteers about the importance of our native ecosystems and forested watersheds and the need to combat threats like invasive species.
