| Make a Difference! Help Native Forests of Koke‘e and the Alaka‘i Swamp Volunteering is a great way to: -Do your part in conserving native Hawaiian forests -Meet new people -Learn about native plants and animals -Visit beautiful places -Stay fit Description: Volunteers typically work on weekdays, for the day, in a group led by employees of the Koke‘e Resource Conservation Program (KRCP). Work may involve hiking both on and off trails, often in rugged terrain, and adverse weather conditions. KRCP employees coordinate volunteer groups into a line which sweeps through the forest hand pulling weeds and, if necessary, treating with herbicide. What to Bring: Volunteers must provide their own transportation to Koke‘e and to provide their own footwear, clothes, lunch & snacks, water, raingear, and backpack. KRCP supplies the tools for the job and transportation to work area.

| We highly encourage residents and visitors to help protect native forests by volunteering some of their time. Volunteering is an excellent way to view and learn about native plants and animals, their threats, and the management efforts aimed at saving the remaining forests from threats such as strawberry guava, banana poka, kahili ginger, and Australian tree fern. Community involvement remains essential to preserving what remains of Kaua‘i’s native areas. We are tremendously grateful to all who have volunteered in the past and to those who will volunteer in the future. |
