Waimea Arboretum Foundation is a non-profit organization created to help support botanical, educational and research activities primarily at the Waimea Arboretum & Botanical Garden. Location is the Waimea Valley & Adventure Park near Haleiwa, island of Oahu, Hawaii. The botanical garden sections of the park covers over 100 acres with 6,000 plant varieties. At least 200 of these are rare, endangered or globally threatened.

The WAF also supports botanical preservation, conservation and collections management throughout Hawaii and around the world. Through its efforts, many obscure, threatened and endangered plant species are in protective cultivation.

One interesting foundation activity is sponsorship of a Moonwalk at Waimea Park. It is held once a month on the Friday of the rising moon. This activity is open to everyone. Bring a flashlight, insect repellent and a light jacket. Highlight is viewing flowers which only blosssom at night and Waimea Falls by moonlight. Suggested minimum donation is $3 for individuals, $5 for couples, and $7 for a family. Your contributions are tax deductible. The Moonwalk is free for WAF members. Call (808) 638-8655 or fax (808) 638-7900 to confirm the date and time.
