Volunteer at the forest
Ohia Ridge Farm
Spend the day on the slopes of Mauna Kea at 3300’ in Hawaii’s ohia forest. A scenic paved road leads to our 41-acre farm…visit the post and beam greenhouse, learn about native trees and shrubs, plant seedlings to diversify the existing montane forest…listen for the call of the ‘oma’o and help preserve habitat for Hawaii’s rare plants and native birds.
We host volunteers on weekends August through May and weekdays June 1 through July 31. Opportunities include: potting seedlings, planting trees and shrubs, weeding and watering. We begin at 8 a.m. and end at noon. Lunch is provided. Please bring a hat/sunscreen, rain gear-if needed, sensible shoes and a water bottle. We provide water, gloves, and equipment. Thank you for your support.

Your volunteer work supports biodiversity of the native forest, helps preserve endangered bird habitat and helps develop a seed bank for the future expansion of Hawaiʻi’s native forest. We are currently going through an ownership change and the new owners will be updating the website and volunteer opportunities in the near future.
