The Friends of Kauaʻi Wildlife Refuges Princeville Moʻolelo free lecture series will continue on Tuesday, November 18th with a special presentation from USFWS Volunteer Louise Barnfield. Louise has volunteered with the Kauaʻi National Wildlife Refuge Complex since 2012 and, for most of those years, has been monitoring the Laysan albatross, or mōlī, that return to us in November for their breeding season. Since 2016, she has also volunteered with the Annual Nest Count crew that travels to Kuaihelani (Midway Atoll) each winter to count all active nests. She now returns on alternate years as a co-leader of the team, including this past season when she lived on the Atoll for two months, through December and January.
Through her talk, Louise, will share personal experiences of the Annual Albatross Nest Count on Kuaihelani (Midway Atoll) and how the data collected throughout the year, both on Kuaihelani and at Kīlauea Point NWR, play a part in the long-term Albatross Demographic Project. Please join us as we kick off the 2026 mōlī nesting season!
The event will be held on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, from 5:00 to 6:30pm in the Princeville Community Center. The presentation will also be available via Zoom. For more information, visit www.kauairefuges.org/princeville-moolelo.
About the Series: Friends of Kauaʻi Wildlife Refuges is pleased to partner with the Princeville at Hanalei Community Association Events Committee to present this engaging series. Together, they are presenting free informative “talk story” events monthly in the Princeville Community Center to share the work and stories of conservation partners, Hawaiian cultural practitioners and more.

1st Annual Garden Island Compost Forum
2025-11-18 18:30 - 20:30 | Online via Zoom, 2323 Oka Street Kilauea, Kilauea, HI, 96754, United States
Join us for the First Annual Garden Island Compost Forum, where we’ll learn how to compost at home, explore island-wide solutions, and connect with local experts shaping a more sustainable future.

A free virtual community event.

What if Kaua‘i’s waste could feed our island instead of our landfill?
Composting is one of the simplest — and most powerful — ways we can turn food scraps into a local resource. It builds soil, supports farmers, and helps keep methane-producing organics out of our already overflowing Kekaha Landfill.
Hear from local experts including: Councilmember Fern Anuenue Holland, Jesse Brown-Clay (Compost Kauaʻi), Sari Pastore (Understory Alliance) and Andy Boyd (County of Kauaʻi Recycling Coordinator). The event will feature short presentations, Q&A, and open discussion.

Learn About:– Why composting is so important– How to start and maintain compost at home– Community-scale composting solutions (including pick-up & drop-off services)– Responsible green waste management to prevent the spread of coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB)– County resources, free bin programs & more
