Hawai‘i Nature Center, Mālama Makiki: Clearing & Connections


Hawaiʻi Nature Center

Join the Hawai‘i Nature Center to help us clear the Herring Loop Trail! This trail, which serves our 2nd grade school program and camps, needs help; during recent storms, significant foliage has come down, limiting our use of the trail with young keiki. To clear the trail, we’re bringing together our partner organizations and community volunteers. Following trail work, return to the nature center to learn more about the Hawaii Nature Center’s programs and visit our partner organizations’ outreach booths! Participate in interactive activities to learn more about Hawaii’s natural ecosystems and how to get involved with these amazing organizations.

We hope you’ll join us for a rewarding day of service, collaboration, and community connections!

About the organizer

This noble work stared in a tropical rainforest in 1972 with the Outdoor Circle proposed an education center in O‘ahu’s Makiki Valley.  By 1981, the Makiki Environmental Education Center opened and five years later, it grew into an independent 501(c)3 non-profit called the Hawai‘i Nature Center.  We offer hands-on, science-based school field trips for elementary students; environmental day camps during school breaks; weekly homeschool programs; weekend family programs and birthday parties for HNC members, and various volunteer service projects.
