Kahuku Site Management Plan Meeting #1
Date	Start Time	End Time	Time Zone	Location
Jun 13, 2026	11:00 AM	1:00 PM		Kahuku Visitor Contact Station Māmalahoa Highway (Hwy 11) mile marker 70.5 Nāʻālehu, Hawaii

Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park invites the community to share feedback on the Comprehensive Site Management Plan and Environmental Assessment (Plan/EA) for the Kahuku Unit. You are welcome to join the meeting anytime during the hours identified below.
 
Description:
The proposed plan would provide implementation guidance for improving and increasing visitor access and the desired visitor experience while preserving sensitive natural, cultural, and historical resources. The comprehensive site management plan would provide specific guidance on interpretive and educational activities, picnic areas, additional trails, and small campgrounds. It would also delineate where these would be located and give clear direction for future management of the Kahuku Unit with the long-term goal of opening full-time like the rest of the park, as requested by the public. The plan would also allow the park to open the Kahuku-Pōhue sub-area to limited visitor use initially with the intention to expand as appropriate while protecting critical natural and cultural resources.

Previous public input helped us identify what the community wants in conjunction with the park mission to protect natural and cultural resources while providing recreational opportunities and public access.
