Horticulture Volunteer - Limahuli Garden
Limahuli Garden and Preserve is dedicated to the conservation of native Hawaiian species, striving to perpetuate modern Hawaiian culture by encouraging community involvement and education. We welcome our volunteers to be involved in our preservation efforts through planting, weeding, watering, and general maintenance of rare and endangered species in our Garden.

This work would suit someone in good physical condition looking to work outdoors in varying weather conditions. Some of the Garden is hilly and volunteers are expected to be able to perform activities normally associated with gardening. No expertise is required. Some knowledge of native Hawaiian plants is desirable, but a willingness and passion to learn about native ecosystems and Hawaiian culture is most important.

To make arrangements and for more information about needed gear and supplies, please contact the volunteer coordinator at Limahuli Garden and Preserve. Time commitment: minimum of four (4) hours

You will be working in the heart of Limahuli Valley at our restoration project site helping to preserve the ‘āina of Kaua‘i. You will be involved in planting and maintaining native Hawaiian plant restoration sites, invasive species removal, and trail maintenance.

This work would suit someone in very good physical condition looking to work outdoors in varying weather conditions. All volunteers must be able to hike one-half hour or more on uneven terrain to the worksites in the Valley, often carrying plants and tools to and from the restoration project sites. Some knowledge of Hawai‘i’s native plants would be advantageous, but passion and enthusiasm to learn more about the Hawaiian ecosystems and culture is most important.
