Kirsten Whatley lives on the island of Maui, where she writes about the natural world and our place within it. In Preserving Paradise, she shares her passion for keeping the wild places wild, and her appreciation of nature as our finest teacher. Feel free to contact her directly at the email below.

This is the first volunteer resource of its kind for environmental opportunities in Hawaii, so there are likely some programs out there that have escaped our radar. If you think your volunteer projects would be a good match for Preserving Paradise, please let us know. And for those of you who've volunteered with one of these groups, share your experiences with us! We may choose your story to be included in the next Preserving Paradise ...
