2016 Huaka'i
Aloha Field Schoolers!
On this page, you will find information that will help you prepare for all of our huaka'i (field trips). We're excited to share this summer with you learning from a variety of conservation professionals, community members, cultural practitioners, each other, and most importantly - from the 'āina!
