Workdays at KAEF

The Kauaʻi Animal Education Farm Māla Lāʻau is thriving! KAEF workdays will graduate to an every-other-month schedule, giving us dedicated time to care for this special space together.

We’re working on choosing the best Sunday of the month for volunteers. If you’d like to weigh in, please fill out our Understory Volunteer Interest & Scheduling Survey.
