Consider Volunteering Some of Your Maui Vacation Time for the Environment
Posted on Fri, Dec 21, 2007 by Sheila
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

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
