Occasionally the Friends of Hakalau Forest will have volunteer service trips. These volunteer service trips are work trips that help fulfill the mission and goals of Hakalau Forest NWR. FOHF volunteer service trips are organized for & by Friends of Hakalau Forest members; dates of FOHF service trip outings are emailed first to members. If you are not a member and want to join a service trip you may download a membership form. Any non-members who wish to be put on a general waitlist, please contact us, subject "Volunteer Service Trips," and be sure to include your name and contact information. (As a volunteer service trip gets closer to the date, empty slots are opened to non-members.)
The FOHF service trips could be planting native trees, working in the native plant greenhouse, annual cleaning of the volunteer cabin, possibly interior or exterior painting of a cabin, or other work projects. If doing service trips at Hakalau Forest NWR is of interests to you, and you would like to participate in Friends of Hakalau Forest’s service trip outings, please consider becoming a member & receive announcements of upcoming FOHF members’ service trips through the eNews Brief.
For volunteer opportunities with one of the Friends of Hakalau Forest’s committees, contact FOHF for information. List your area(s) of interest, training & previous experience in interested areas. There’s more work than hands to do the work so contact us if you think you might like to get involved.
