HER holds Quarterly Rainforest Restoration Volunteer Events in honor of Solstices and Equinoxes! During these events, native planting occurs when there has been rain and soil is moist; otherwise volunteers support the native species by hand-pulling invasive ones, and contributing to established compost piles. – From 10:00am to 2:00pm – Site parking is located at the junction of Highway 130 and Upper Puna Rd. between Pahoa town and Kalapana, (between the 16-17 mile marker). – On the day of the event, please be prepared with long clothes, sturdy shoes/boots, hat, gloves, rain gear, and plenty of drinking water, and a lunch for a full volunteer day. Please register with Jaya at [email protected] for this volunteer opportunity, and fill out a waiver, available on the volunteer page of HER website hawaiienvironmentalrestoration.org    Don’t hesitate to subscribe to HER monthly newsletter for more info!!!
