This page connects schools and educators with Hawaiʻi Land Trust field-trip opportunities at HILT preserves across several islands. HILT notes that its site-specific educators have experience building and co-creating curriculum with teachers, and the page provides the appropriate educator contact for arranging a school field trip.
The locations currently listed are Kāhili Beach Preserve on Kauaʻi, Maunawila Heiau Complex on Oʻahu, Waiheʻe Coastal Dunes and Wetlands Refuge and Nuʻu Refuge on Maui, Māhukona Cultural & Ecological Refuge, and Kūkūau Community Forest.
HILT ʻĀina-Based School Field Trip
Educators use this page to select a HILT site and contact the site-specific educator to coordinate an educational field trip. Because HILT emphasizes curriculum co-creation with teachers, the exact field experience can be shaped around the selected preserve and classroom learning goals.
Depending on the site and lesson developed with the HILT educator, students may participate in place-based observation, cultural and ecological learning, and investigation of the surrounding ʻāina.
