Experience an Eco-Tour at Shaka Forest Farms
First Friday of the Month | 10am – 12pm
To illustrate the symbiotic relationship between conservation and agriculture, the Volcano Art Center introduces eco-tours featuring locally grown, harvested and produced agricultural products grown in or near Hawaiʻi’s native rainforest. To this end, VAC is collaborating with Shaka Forest Farms LLC, which has a 29-acre agroforestry operation set within an ‘ōhi’a rainforest teeming with a diversity of native Hawaiian plants. SFF’s principal crop is māmaki (Pipturus albidus), an endemic stingless nettle that has many uses in Hawaiian culture. This māmaki is grown for Shaka Tea, the first line of Hawaiʻi-grown, herbal iced teas on the market brewed from this native nettle plant.
The eco-tours, hosted by Shaka Forest Farms’ staff on the first Friday of each month, offer participants a chance to interact first hand with an innovative rainforest farming operation. Agroforestry, a method of agriculture modeled after natural forest systems, are much more biologically diverse than most modern farms, which grow singular plants in a monoculture arrangement. This 1.5 hour-long tour costs $25 ($20 for VAC members) and meets at VAC’s Niaulani campus (19-4074 Old Volcano Rd.) in Volcano Village at 10am where participants will caravan or carpool to the forest farm site (19-4610 Amaumau Rd.) also in Volcano Village.

Free Guided Cultural Tour of the Niaulani Forest
Join Kumu Hula Ryan McCormack for a special tour of the Niaulani old-growth forest, with a Hawaiian cultural emphasis every fourth Friday of the month, from 9:30 -11:30am. Tour participants will meet at the Volcano Art Center (VAC) at 19-4074 Old Volcano Rd. in Volcano Village. The tour will focus on Hawaiian protocol, traditional chants, history and lifeways, as they relate to the native forest ecosystem. Topics will include protocol for “asking permission” to enter the forest and gather plant material, traditional knowledge and uses of forest plants, and local history and lore from the uniquely Hawaiian perspective. The tour may include examples of traditional Hawaiian oli (chants) and hula that relate to the forest.
Over 20 years ago, VAC signed an agreement with the Hawai’i State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to lease a 7.4-acre land parcel containing roughly 5 acres formally known as the Niaulani Forest Reserve and within it an established 1/7 mile loop trail. Members of VAC including artists, scientists, and educators from the Volcano community immediately began removing invasive species from the land. In signing the lease for Niaulani, VAC agreed to continue the generational legacy of land stewardship and to educate residents and visitors about its importance as a natural and cultural resource.
Ryan McCormack is an ʻŪniki ʻAi Lolo of Unukupukupu, having completed his formal rites of passage under the tutelage of Dr. Taupōuri Tangarō. He is Kumu Hula of Māunuunu and a Lecturer in the Hawaiʻi Life Styles department at Hawaiʻi Community College. Originally from Waimānalo, he now calls the rainforest of ʻŌlaʻa, Hawaiʻi Island, his home. His ongoing passion for hula and community wellbeing has been supported by a lifetime of dancing and an educational journey that has most recently culminated in a Master’s degree in Depth Psychology, with an emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies, from Pacifica Graduate Institute. He delights in sharing the mythology, history, music, and dance traditions of Hawaiʻi, both here at home and around the world.
The tour is free and open to the public. Participation is limited so please call (808) 967-8222 to reserve your spot. This tour is sponsored by the County of Hawai’i’s Department of Research and Development.

Experience an Eco-Tour at Shaka Forest Farms
First Friday of the Month | 10am – 12pm
To illustrate the symbiotic relationship between conservation and agriculture, the Volcano Art Center introduces eco-tours featuring locally grown, harvested and produced agricultural products grown in or near Hawaiʻi’s native rainforest. To this end, VAC is collaborating with Shaka Forest Farms LLC, which has a 29-acre agroforestry operation set within an ‘ōhi’a rainforest teeming with a diversity of native Hawaiian plants. SFF’s principal crop is māmaki (Pipturus albidus), an endemic stingless nettle that has many uses in Hawaiian culture. This māmaki is grown for Shaka Tea, the first line of Hawaiʻi-grown, herbal iced teas on the market brewed from this native nettle plant.
The eco-tours, hosted by Shaka Forest Farms’ staff on the first Friday of each month, offer participants a chance to interact first hand with an innovative rainforest farming operation. Agroforestry, a method of agriculture modeled after natural forest systems, are much more biologically diverse than most modern farms, which grow singular plants in a monoculture arrangement. This 1.5 hour-long tour costs $25 ($20 for VAC members) and meets at VAC’s Niaulani campus (19-4074 Old Volcano Rd.) in Volcano Village at 10am where participants will caravan or carpool to the forest farm site (19-4610 Amaumau Rd.) also in Volcano Village. Registration is required as participation is limited. Please call (808) 967-8222 or visit www.volcanoartcenter.org to reserve your space today. This program supported by Hawaii Tourism’s Aloha Aina Program.
Aloha Friday cultural demonstrations are held each week from 11 am – 1 pm at Volcano Art Center Gallery in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. This week’s offerings include: ʻUkulele with Kainani Kahaunaele.Multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award recipient Kainani Kahaunaele, shares her passion for all things Hawaiian. Kainani works primarily through Hawaiian language revitalization and music, and has released two solo CD recordings. She is also a teacher of ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, music, and haku mele (composing) at Ka Haka ʻUla O Keʻelikōlani College of Hawaiian Language and Literature at UH Hilo, a wife, and mother of 3 budding musicians.
