Volunteer With KMWPThe Mālama Nā Koʻolau program allows members of our community to volunteer at KMWP restoration sites throughout the Koʻolau Mountains.
KMWP hosts at least one volunteer service-learning day each month at our five regular restoration sites through our Mālama Nā Koʻolau (MNK) program. We visit a different site each month to give you the ability to experience each site through hands-on conservation activities. Our events are meant to strengthen your connection to the forest, educate about native and invasive species, and the ability to contribute to our watershed’s health. Volunteers who visit all five regular MNK restoration sites are eligible for invitation-only events.
MNK reservations are on a first-come, first-serve basis, with a maximum of 25 spots available for each event. All necessary tools are provided by KMWP and volunteers must provide their own personal gear, food, and water.
