Kilauea Rotary Orchard Park and Picnic Area

Beginning with the building of the gazebo at the Kīlauea Community Agricultural Center, the Rotary Club of Hanalei Bay has been involved since the inception of this ever-expanding project. The Rotary Orchard was planted in 2019, and a number of trees have been planted in memorial to designated individuals. Fruits from the trees have been distributed in food boxes to kūpuna. In the summer of 2025, a peace pole was installed to add to the inspirational nature of the project.

Rescue Tubes

In partnership with the Rescue Tube Foundation (rescuetubefoundation.org), we help place and maintain Public Access Rescue Tubes along North Shore beaches. These life-saving flotation devices stand guard 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — available for anyone to grab and use to safely assist a swimmer in distress, protecting both the rescuer and the victim and helping reduce preventable drownings in our recreational waters.
