Maunakea Community Weed Pull

Since 2012, the Mālama Maunakea Volunteer Weed Pulls are part of the University of Hawaiʻi Center for Maunakea Stewardship’s ongoing Mālama Maunakea efforts to protect the resources on the mountain by helping to control fireweed (Senecio madagascariensis) and other invasive plant species around Maunakea’s 9,000′ elevation. Removing invasive species and weeds helps to reduce habitat for invasive ants, prevents unwanted invasive species from being transported to the upper elevation areas of Maunakea, and prepares the surrounding area for future native plant restoration projects. Sign up to volunteer by March 17, 2024.
