Who: Anyone who is interested in learning about our native forests and caring for these incredible places is invited to be part of the restoration project. Participants of all ages and ability levels are welcome, but only registered KMWP volunteers can join these events. You must turn in your completed volunteer application forms by March 24th to be eligible.
The 2026 volunteer forms and instructions can be found here.
We have 25 spots open for each session and they are filled on a first come first serve basis, any additional volunteers who sign up will be placed on a waiting list.
What: This is a Service-learning opportunity, the volunteers will be clearing invasive species and protecting native forests to grow our watershed resources and empower community action.
When: April 4th 2026 --- 9am to 12pm
Where: Manoa Cliff Restoration Project. Park at the trailhead for Puʻu ʻŌhiʻa trail and meet the KMWP staff. We will lead a short hike to the site. Keep in mind that the trailhead parking lot is quite small, so carpool whenever possible.
Why: This site is on public lands and is frequented by hikers from all over the world. That amount of traffic through the area presents a lot of challenges but also a great opportunity to teach, learn, and care for a high-impact site. This location has been stewarded by the Mānoa Cliff Restoration Project for over 20 years and the oasis of native diversity they created in that time serves as a really good example of what a dedicated effort at conservation and reforestation can accomplish.
