Our final Art Hui in our Mountain View space: Come create low-stakes art among community while learning about native species. Bring your own art supplies if you have a preference for specific materials. We will cover tables with butcher paper for folks, and have pencils, crayons and pens available for art. Bring a snack for yourself or to share!

We are announcing an upcoming change: Laulima Nature Center will be closing our Mountain View location as our lease comes to an end. This is by no means goodbye— change is a natural part of growth, and this transition allows us to focus more on our values and mission. Our current location has been a joy in so many ways, providing a space for people to gather and grow. Operating a brick and mortar comes with many costs and sacrifices, however. We have struggled to stay afloat, so transitioning our outreach to a mobile model is a practical decision and provides more opportunities to meet with folks in the outdoors, classrooms, and more. Please smile for us as Laulima Nature Center enters a new chapter more aligned with our conservation-focused mission.

Our last public event will be the Laulima Art Hui, which will meet next Thursday (2/12), see flyer below. We will officially close our space at the end of Feb, but will be holding a special celebration for our members on March 1 from 4-6pm. Don’t worry, your memberships still hold value as they provide access to our more curated future outdoor excursions (i.e. birding, bugging, & botanizing). 

We are honored to have been a hub for our community over the last year. Thank you for filling our hearts with joy and providing hope for the future of native species and ecosystems. Please come by and say hi before we close our physical doors for good! Mahalo for being part of our LNC ‘ohana. Without people like you, the world would be a dimmer place. Your compassion and care are invaluable.

If you already became a member earlier this year, mahalo piha! Your support is the backbone of our growth. We encourage you to get even more involved next year—volunteer with us, join events, or make a one-time Giving Tuesday donation to help carry this work forward 🪴

Building a community-centered conservation space means being transparent about how we grow. Here’s how your membership strengthens the foundation we’re building:

🌱 Gift Shop Sales: Our new Mountain View home helps sustain our basic operations, but memberships help keep us on track as we expand programs.

🌱 Foundation Grants: Grant cycles are more competitive than ever. A strong base of sustaining members shows funders that our community believes in this work.

🌱 Sponsorships & Donations: We’re growing these partnerships (from $1,800 → $6,500 this year!), and if you know a business aligned with our mission, we’d love an introduction.

Membership fees directly support:
• community festivals
• environmental justice talks
• keiki programming
• arts workshops
• field trips
• members-only events (2x/year)
…and so much more!
