2. Supporting Wetland Conservation In Maui

World Wetlands Day Donation

Hilton Grand Vacations donated $5,000 to Save the Wetlands Hui, a nonprofit focused on restoring Maui’s wetlands — especially in Kihei, near Maui Bay Villas, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club.

Wetlands matter because they:

  • Are home to native plants and animals
  • Reduce erosion
  • Filter pollutants before they reach the ocean

Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities
