Volunteers

Volunteers are the mainstay of our restoration projects. In the last two years, our volunteers have planted over 5,000 trees. Our volunteers work hard, make new friends, explore areas that other island residents rarely have access to, experience breathtaking views, and learn about our native plants. It is time well spent.

With the addition of the Pelekane Watershed Project, we will have two volunteer opportunities available each month. Volunteer activities include invasive weed control, planting, trailblazing, and trail maintenance.

Here’s how the day goes:

Meet in Waimea behind Parker Square (Waimea Coffee Company) at 8:30 a.m.
Carpool to the site in 4X4 vehicles
Work for three hours
Break for a bag lunch
Depending upon time and the site, take a natural history walk/hike
Return to Waimea between 3:30-4:00 p.m.
We work in all kinds of terrain and weather conditions. Please bring:
Water
Lunch
Sturdy Boots
Hat and/or sunscreen
Jacket/rain gear
We will provide tools, gloves, snacks, and ice.

Please visit the KWP Web site and sign up for our e-mail list at if you are interested in volunteering. You will then receive e-mail announcements for upcoming volunteer days. We do request a firm RSVP so we can ensure that we have sufficient transportation for all our volunteers to and from the work site.
