Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge will celebrate Earth Day with an Open House this Saturday, April 19.
Guided rainforest hikes will be offered between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to observe rare and colorful native birds and plants and to learn about refuge management practices.
Visitors may also tour a 131-year-old koa cabin and the refuge greenhouse, and visit displays about conservation in Hawaii in the Pua Akala Barn.
Visitors must provide their own four-wheel-drive transportation to the Refuge, which is a two-hour drive from Hilo, Waimea or Kona.
