Auwahi Project seeks volunteers

The Auwahi Project has a few seats open for its next volunteer trip from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 11.

Located on and sponsored by Ulupalakua Ranch, the Auwahi Project protects one of the last diverse tracts of dryland forest in the archipelago.

Due to limited seating, confirmation of a reservation is required to attend. To request a seat, email volunteer@auwahi.org.

Volunteers will meet at Ulupalakua Ranch Store and are asked to park behind the store and to bring gear. Due to the rough and steep terrain, hiking boots that cover the ankle are required. Long pants and layered clothing are also recommended, as is a backpack, rain gear, 2 liters of water, lunch, sunscreen and a hat.
