SOUTH MAUI VOLUNTEERS

Join us every Monday morning from 7:30 -9:30-- Meet at the Kihei Boat Ramp (or look for the lime green VOLUNTEER vests at one of the Kamaole Beaches in case we have a project going on at the dunes) .

**June and July are trypically leaner months for volunteers other than our core group.  The Wedge-tailed Shearwaters will be laying their single egg in the ground nests they have prepared and we should start seeing signs of chicks by mid-August.  Goals for June and July will be to continue weeding, clearing invasives, and realigning paths where needed for erosion control.  Now that we are back to the dry conditions of summer, opala (rubbish) becomes easier to spot and we always marvel how a pile had remained undiscovered for so long! 

Our long range plans are to create a new path above the picnic table area by the boat ramp area which will include a native plant garden, similar to the work we helped with on the south trail by KIRC.  Stay tuned!

Making a difference through Community Involvement 

 

Hoaloha ‘Āina is a grass roots organization committed to community stewardship and the protection of our shoreline by protecting the land from vehicular traffic, keeping the land free of trash, and by building and maintaining a walking trail that effectively connects the South Maui Coastal Heritage Corridor.

Our mission is to create and maintain a coastal access corridor while facilitating community partnerships to provide a safe, attractive, recreational, cultural, educational environment in South Maui. It begins with individuals who have a commitment to work toward an end goal in cooperation with state and county agencies whose lands are impacted by our endeavors. Heart felt thanks to our volunteers and contributors!!
