The Almanac consists of:

  3. Local Nature Conservation Issues

1. The Maui Nature Journal

The Nature Journal is a place to share observations and experiences in the natural world. The format is basic: a sequential listing of entries, descriptions or interpretations of local nature, submitted whenever anyone is inspired to share.

The goals:

  • Co-create an archive of local nature observations.
  • Learn from each other and create an ecologically literate culture, right here.
  • Document ecological changes.
  • Engage with and document our natural environment, so that we can better know, love, and care for this place, so that we can teach the keiki, malama the aina, and reinhabit the islands.
  • Celebrate all that this living place is, and to help each other see, hear, and understand.

Check out the Nature Journal and add posts here.
