HOW TO VOLUNTEER

Welcome Back! Our volunteer program is back open and we look forward to having you in Kokee with us. All ages and skill levels are welcome. Volunteers must be able to provide their own transportation to and from worksites. 

 

The Kōkeʻe Resource Conservation Program primarily performs alien plant species control work and watershed management activities in the forests of Kaua‘i. The program provides a framework for volunteers to be involved in preserving the spectacular natural resources of the area. Periodically KRCP also does collecting and propagation of native plants, outplanting of native plants, trail maintenance, fence maintenance and maintenance of tea plants located in Kōkeʻe.

Work days are available Monday-Thursday between 7 am-5 pm. We can schedule a work project for a half day, 8 am-12 pm, or full day, 8 am - 4 pm. To schedule a workday, please email us at kokeeresource@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you!

Volunteers are also welcome on remote camping work trips with our field crew. Throughout the year we spend up to a week at a time camping in remote areas of the Alaka'i Wilderness Preserve performing invasive weed control and watershed management activities. Additional training is required. Contact us for more details.

ABOUT US >

The Kōkeʻe Resource Conservation Program (KRCP) engages the public to protect Kauai's biodiversity by invasive plant removal.  Service learning projects connect all ages to nature by working in Kauai's magnificent but fragile native forest.  Hawaii has 33% of all endangered species in the U.S. yet receives only 5% of federal funding allotted for endangered species protection.  KRCP leverages funding with volunteers from around the world.  Since 1998, KRCP has removed over 14.7 million weeds from over 13,338 acres with the help of over 33,634 volunteers contributing over 183,298 volunteer labor. KRCP is also fortunate to have the support of conservation partners providing 18,540 hours of skilled labor. 

KRCP is a project of the non-profit Garden Island Resource Conservation & Development, Inc.
