Bring My Group to Palehua

Bring your family, service club, scout troop, church group, or homeschool co-op to Palehua!

Reserve a morning to venture up the Waianae mountains with our intrepid Conservation Manager Mashuri Waite. Nurture native Hawaiian plants, collect seeds, remove invasive weeds, and help expand the renewed native ecosystem at our enclosure on Palehua. Enjoy breathtaking views and an escape from the bustle of the city!

Register today, and our team will reach out to you to coordinate on details such as group size and conservation project. Note that we have registration for groups set aside for one group per available day. We can arrange to meet a little earlier or a little later, per your group's needs.

Please wear covered shoes with good treads, sturdy work clothes (long pants and long sleeves) and bring your own gloves and bottle of water. Be prepared for sun, rain and possibly mosquitoes. Bring a backpack to carry snacks or a packed lunch.

You will be met at the Community Center by our Conservation Manager, and carpool up the mountain. Please don’t be late, as you need to be with the group to pass through the two locked gates on the Palehua property. We will provide tools, but feel free to bring your own if you wish.

Be prepared to walk about a mile on a forest trail and to use tools such as loppers, scythes, machetes and shovels. There’s an incredible view along the way!

Each participant will need to sign a waiver through SmartWaiver. Our Admin will send you a link for your specific event date so that you can see who in your group has completed their waiver.

If you have completed a SmartWaiver for us within the past 10 months, then you do not need to sign it again, so long as your information and that of your emergency contacts remains the same.
