Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort is proud to announce its new, first-of-its-kind partnership with Bishop Museum to launch the Native Garden Volunteering Program and its new Kamala‘ulahiwa: ʻOhana Learning Space. In addition, families who stay on select family packages at Sheraton Waikiki can be among the first to see the museum’s newest immersive exhibit: “Exhibition Dinosaur: Into the Deep.”
The Kamala‘ulahiwa: ʻOhana Learning Space is located near the Museum’s Nā Ulu Kaiwi‘ula Native Hawaiian Garden, will be a community education space featuring new displays and special programming to help inspire community members to expand their knowledge of traditional land management, local food security, and a sustainable future for Hawaiʻi.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to support Bishop Museum’s efforts in preserving and nurturing native plant species through immersive gardening activities and workshops. During the day-long program, participants will receive an educational overview of Hawaiʻi’s native ecosystem from Bishop Museum staff before assisting with caretaking tasks in museum conservation areas, such as removing invasive species, planting, and harvesting. Initially offered on a quarterly or bi-monthly basis, the program aims to expand based on interest and engagement.
The Native Garden Volunteering Program will evolve to include more structured programming later this year upon the completion of Bishop Museum’s Kamala‘ulahiwa: ʻOhana Learning Space facility. Until then, volunteers will play an essential role in the ongoing caretaking and restoration of these precious natural spaces.
