Volunteer for Maui with Pacific Whale Foundation
Join Māla Ocean Tavern in supporting the Pacific Whale Foundation’s Mālama Pono Program, a hands-on volunteer effort to restore Maui’s native ecosystems from mauka to makai. Help remove invasive species, plant native vegetation, and give back to the ʻāina.
At Mala Ocean Tavern, caring for our island community is at the heart of what we do. We’re proud to support the Pacific Whale Foundation’s Malama Pono Program, a volunteer initiative dedicated to restoring Maui’s native ecosystems and nurturing a deeper connection to the ʻaina.
Through Malama Pono, volunteers work alongside local conservationists to remove invasive species, outplant native vegetation, and restore natural habitats across the Olowalu to Maʻalaea area, reaching from mountain to sea. These efforts help protect Maui’s unique biodiversity and build a stronger, more sustainable future for the island.
Whether you’re a local resident or a visiting guest, volunteering with Malama Pono is a meaningful way to give back to Maui. Each project offers hands-on education, team bonding, and the chance to connect with the land and community in a truly authentic way. Together, we can help Maui thrive. 🧡💙
