Project Description
December 2026 – Recent storms have brought down significant foliage along the Herring Loop Trail, limiting access to an important outdoor learning environment used by Hawaiʻi Nature Center’s second-grade school program and Nature Adventure Camps.
Now, we’re calling on our community to lend a hand.
On Saturday, December 5, Hawaiʻi Nature Center will host a Day of Service dedicated to restoring the Herring Loop Trail and reconnecting keiki with the natural world. Volunteers will help clear storm debris and overgrown foliage, making the trail accessible for future outdoor adventures, exploration and hands-on learning.
A Day of Volunteering, Learning and Connection
The morning will bring together volunteers, community partners and environmental organizations for a shared effort to care for one of our community’s outdoor learning spaces.
Event Schedule
8:00 to 11:30 am: Volunteer trail restoration at Herring Loop Trail
11:30 am to 12:30 pm: Interactive activities and outreach booths featuring community partners
Following the trail work, participants are invited to visit Hawaiʻi Nature Center and explore interactive activities hosted by partner organizations. Learn about Hawaiʻi’s unique natural ecosystems, discover local conservation efforts and find new ways to get involved in protecting our environment.
Help Keep Nature Accessible for Future Generations
Outdoor experiences play an important role in helping children develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural world. Through exploration and hands-on learning, keiki discover the connections between healthy ecosystems, their communities and their own role in caring for the environment.
Lend a hand. Restore a trail. Connect with nature.
