Volunteer Workday at Kalaeokaunaʻoa (Kahuku Point)

Kalaeokaunaʻoa, or Kahuku Point, is an area of undeveloped coastline on Oʻahu’s North Shore. It is one the few remaining places on Oʻahu with intact coastal strand habitat that includes Ohai (Sesbania tomentosa), yellow-faced bees (Hylaeus anthracinus), monk seals (Monachus schauinslandi, including a female who pups there yearly), and nesting sea turtles (both Hawksbill, Eretmochelys imbricata and Green, Chelonia mydas). The North Shore Community Land Trust’s (NSCLT) project is a volunteer-based community stewardship and coastline restoration effort stemming from a partnership between NSCLT, Turtle Bay Resort, and US Fish and Wildlife Pacific Islands Coastal Program. Unless otherwise announced, monthly community work days occur on the second Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.  Meet on the Kahuku side of the Turtle Bay Resort parking lot near the helipad by 9am. A NSCLT representative will be there to guide the group on a hike out to the point. More information regarding monthly community work days is listed below:
