Kokua Saturday at Malama Hamakua Maui

Malama Hamakua Maui

Join Malama Hamakua Maui on the North Shore every last Saturday of the month from 9:00-11:30.  If you are familiar with the site on Hahana Road, just head on over!  For first timers – welcome!  We will meet at the Haiku Community Center at 8:30 am and caravan over to the site.

You’ll join other likeminded community members to join the efforts on the Open Space Hamakualoa Lands.  Be prepared for site cleanup, removing invasive species, native plant restoration, monitoring the site for trash, cutting trails, painting signage and more.

Light refreshments will be offered, the views are unmatched, and your presence is welcome!

Who We Are

Malama Hāmākua is a non-profit, community based organization created to help the county with maintaining and preserving the Hāmākua Open Space. Funding is through grants and maintenance contract with the county. Much of the work is currently voluntary.

What We Do

Our Goals

  • Preserving the land and cultural sites. This is probably the #1 priority. Unfortunately the land has been abused by years of farming and people dumping old cars on it. There are also cultural sites, like a heiau, that need attention.
  • Restoring native plants. Cane grass has taken over the old cane fields and many non-native trees have moved in. The original tree types were ʻōhiʻa-hāpuʻu (as described in this research paper) but have largely been replaced by non-natives.
  • Community Garden. The original charter passed by the Maui County Council in 2016 called for a community organic farm space to be part of Hāmākua . Our goal is to help make good on that promise.
