ABOUT US
Here at Malama Hamakua Maui, our mission is to restore and preserve the natural and cultural landscapes of the Hamakualoa Open Space Preserve. We focus on reconnecting the community with the land through native plant restoration, sustainable practices, and community-driven conservation efforts. Our vision is to create a thriving, healthy environment where native ecosystems flourish, cultural heritage is honored, and the people of Maui can engage in meaningful stewardship of their natural resources. By involving volunteers of all ages in hands-on restoration and educational programs, we aim to inspire long-term environmental and community sustainability.
OUR IMPACT
At Malama Hamakua Maui, we make a positive impact by restoring native ecosystems, protecting culturally significant areas, and fostering a deeper connection between the community and the land. Through our volunteer programs, we’ve cleared invasive species, planted hundreds of native plants like ʻaʻaliʻi, ulei, pili grass, and naupaka, and reduced illegal dumping in the Hamakualoa Open Space Preserve. Our efforts help reduce wildfire risks, protect native wildlife, and revive Maui’s natural landscape. By involving local residents, youth groups, and visitors, we create a sense of community ownership and environmental responsibility, encouraging long-term stewardship of the land.
