Ala Mahamoe Cultural Garden Workday (Changed from Pali Lookout)

Due to the recent landslides on the Pali Highway, there will be a change of plans for our volunteer trip scheduled for 3/9/19 from 8:30am to 12pm.  Instead, we will be going to Ala Mahamoe Native Cultural Forest in Moanalua.  The date and time will remain the same.

 

Join the Koʻolau Mountains Watershed Partnership for a conservation workday at our Ala Mahamoe Native Cultural Garden project!
