Consider Volunteering Some of Your Maui Vacation Time for the Environment
The trend of volunteering on vacation continues to gain interest. Maui, in particular, seems to have quite a few ongoing volunteer organized projects in Hawaii. You can help restore ancient Hawaiian fishponds, remove invasive plant species, and clean up beaches among other worthy environmental efforts.
Take a look at the useful volunteer on vacation projects that the Pacific Whale Foundation organizes. For your hard work, not only will you receive the satisfaction of making a difference plus you’ll also receive:
- A free “Volunteering on Vacation” T-shirt
- Learn about the history and environment of beautiful natural areas
- Meet local experts and other visitors who care about the environment
- Pay no fees or admission charges

Sheila,
Perfect timing
David
Hi David - I’m glad the timing worked out for you. Please let us know if you get to volunteer. Some of the opportunities sound like they’d be kind of fun.
I hope you have a wonderful time in Maui! Mele Kalikimaka!
I think we will volunteer to do something. At the very least we’ll get a beach cleanup kit and use it on our morning walks.
The project in Honokawai Valley sounds very interesting. Seems like a great opportunity to do a little good and see something that’s otherwise inaccessible.
And it’s work I have experience in. I’m constantly clearing invasive species around the house.
I’ll let you know what happens.
Aloha
David
