Earth Day has been celebrated since 1970 and is a day that raises awareness about environmental concerns and celebrates our connection to nature.

Earth Day is particularly important here in Hawaiʻi, where our communities rely on, engage with, and are intricately connected to ʻāina. In Hawaiʻi we generally celebrate all of April as “Earth Month,” and you can find events to celebrate and give back to the Earth on our events calendar, through our social media, or through iVolunteer.

You can also learn about Hawaiʻi’s environment on our Education pages, through native species profiles, learning about conservation topics, watching our educational videos, or taking a virtual field field to remote areas across Hawaiʻi.
