On the first Tuesday of the month, Friends of Haleakala National Park offer a one-day service activity at the park’s plant nursery in the Haleakala summit district. Volunteers will help park horticulturist care for the rare, endemic plants by transplanting, weeding, cleaning, preparing seeds, and pot washing. The park recycles pots which have to be carefully cleaned to prevent the spread of plant diseases. Most of the service work is inside, but there may be some outside planting. Participants can drive up to the location of the work. Participants should bring water, lunch and snacks, and their own gloves if desired. The park will provide other tools. Wear sturdy shoes, and in case of out planting work, bring a hat and sunscreen.
