Aided by coronavirus relief funds, seven nonprofits employed out-of-work residents on conservation projects that included clearing invasive species, restoring cultural resources and preserving natural habitats. The program created about 70 temporary jobs on Maui and Molokai, but the nonprofits will continue their efforts long after the program ends. Here’s how to learn more about these groups.• Ka Honua Momona is based on Molokai.
