Volunteer: Outplanting Native Hawaiian Dry Land Forest Ecosystem PlantsKeālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge is known for its native Hawaiian Stilt and Coot nesting habitat. But there are areas of the refuge unseen by the public eye that are being restored to a Hawaiian dryland forest ecosystem, one of the most rare systems in the world. Our objective is to plant species that were once found in this area and to replace the previously establish, and invasive, Kiawe forests. The area was previously burned in 2019 by a brush fire that tore across the valley towards Kihei, narrowly missing our visitor center. The fire was a blessing in disguise as it gave us the opportunity to remove the Kiawe, replant native species, and reintroduce an almost extinct ecosystem. Working conditions are in hot and buggy areas of the Refuge with minimal shade. Come join us in this unique opportunity! Important Gear: close toed shoes long pants hat sunscreen (if you have a personal preference, but it is provided otherwise) water bottleThe area is slightly rugged as we are required to walk over mulched Kiawe. The fields of this mulch often times still have the long thorns of the Kiawe tree still in them and can cause harm if not properly equipped.

Volunteer: Home Fire Campaign VolunteerEvery day, seven people die in home fires, most often in homes without working smoke alarms. That’s why the American Red Cross launched our Home Fire Campaign in 2014 to save lives. Through our home visits, we’ve installed more than 2.2 million free smoke alarms and prepared more than 2.5 million people for home fires. You can join the American Red Cross today as a volunteer installing fire alarms in the homes of those that need them most in our communities across the island. This opportunity is great for teams of 2-4 people. Someone will be the documenter, the safety educator, the installer and the assistant. You'll install smoke alarms in the home, help the renter or owner to draw up an evacuation plan, practice a 2-minute escape drill and perform a safety check to ensure there are no obvious fire hazards in the home. The campaign for Sound the Alarm (an offshoot of Home Fire Campaign) for 2023 runs from April 15th to May 15th. We love to partner with groups (rotary, school clubs, groups of friends, families, etc.) for this campaign. If interested, please go to redcross.org/volunteer to apply or search for other available opportunities. You can also contact our volunteer recruitment team at mary.finley@redcross.org, or by calling 808-284-6849.
