US Fish & Wildlife Kalaeloa Refuge Community Service Day

Join volunteers from HOH808 and Keep the Hawaiian Islands Beautiful (KHIB) for this incredible opportunity to give back to the ‘aina.  Encouraged by West O‘ahu community members, the US Fish & Wildlife Service agreed to quarterly open access for the public to enter the Kalaeola refuge and participate in land stewarship and to learn of the  ‘aina-based science and protection of endemic plants and the endangered ‘ewa hinahina (Achyranthes spendens).  Volunteers assist with invasive species removal, out-planting, participate in cultural practices and learn of the habitat restoration of the anchialine pool ecosystem, home of the Hawaiian red shrimp  ‘opae  ‘ula (Halocaridina rubra).  Join us for fun and new experineces unique to the  ‘Ewa plains.
