This event is from a partner in the Year of Our Community Forests.

Hoʻoulu ʻĀina welcomes volunteers from keiki to kūpuna who may live in the Kalihi community or another part of the world.  There are opportunities for individuals and groups to engage in mālama ʻāina practices such as organic reforestation, gardening, and cultural sharing. Below is a list of regularly scheduled volunteer opportunities that are open to the public and free events. Whether it is one of our scheduled community workdays or a group visit, everyone must fill out our digital sign-in and waiver forms prior to arriving at Hoʻoulu ʻĀina.

Lā Mauli Ola

Mauliola – literally “breath of life” – is our deity of health. Work with Hoʻoulu ʻĀina staff to pull weeds, take care of native forest and food plants, mālama pathways and trails. Help to heal the land – and know that the healing is reciprocal. Please wear boots and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Also be prepared to use tools such as pick, shovel, ʻōʻō, machete (if you have your own, please bring!!).

Actual activities will vary week-to-week based on on-going projects. Kihe mauli ola! Register below on our community workday registration.
