CONSERVATION:

PROTECTING A REFUGE FOR NATIVE SPECIES

Haleakalā National Park is home to more endangered species than any other national park in the United States! Our funding will support critical monitoring of imperiled species, fencing to exclude harmful invasive ungulates from the park, restoration of disappearing Hawaiian ecosystems, and research into how best to save these species from a multitude of threats.

EDUCATION:

INSPIRING PARK AMBASSADORS

There are a multitude of opportunities to engage students, the local community, and visitors  through educational programming, community outreach, and volunteer opportunities. The Park engages local students beginning in elementary and continuing through college. Students can further develop their stewardship of Haleakalā National Park through a variety of professional development internship programs, providing a career ladder into conservation. We help support the opportunity for students, community members, and visitors to gain a deeper understanding the unique cultural and natural resources of the park.

PRESERVATION:

MAINTAINING THE PARK AND HONORING ITS CULTURAL RESOURCES

The park preserves Hawaiian and non- Hawaiian cultural resources, such as archeological sites, historic buildings, museum objects, and cultural landscapes. It is critical to balance access of the park with thoughtful stewardship, rehabilitating areas damaged by off-trail use, maintaining trails, and offering educational opportunities to learn about the deep and living history of the park and its community.
