Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park is thankful this Thanksgiving holiday weekend for staff, volunteers and all of its partners who work behind the scenes — and even on holidays — to protect it from invasive, non-native introduced pests. You can get involved, too.

Eric Roberts previously served as deputy superintendent of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument since September 2019, where he led a team of policy and program specialists in the day-to-day management.

The system includes the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary and Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

The center which showcases the Northwest Hawaiian Islands and surrounding marine environment will reopen this summer three blocks away.

The new location for the center which showcases the marine wonder that is the Northwester Hawaiian Islands has not yet been disclosed.

On October 24 at 7 p.m., the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park will host a special “After Dark in the Park,” lecture with National Geographic Traveler editor Jonathan Tourtellot for an overview of World Heritage Sites.
