Coqui Frogs

They're here! They're spreading!

But we can stop them before Waimea sounds like this.

Visit our Coqui Page to learn more.

If you hear a coqui in your yard, you can catch it. Here's how.

If you hear a coqui anywhere in Waimea, report it to wcapres@hawaiiantel.net

Next Waimea Town Meeting:

Normally the first Thursday of every month at 5:15 p.m. Most often at Waimea School Cafeteria but please check below to confirm!

Our next meeting will be on June 7, at the Waimea School Cafeteria.

Everyone is invited to town meetings. A recent bylaw amendment changed the definition of membership so that it is no longer dependent on paying annual dues. Now, membership in the association includes all people or businesses who live, work or are involved in the Waimea community. We are still depend on contributions from our members, but those contributions, which can be any amount you care to donate, will no longer be called "dues." Contributions will support association programs such as this website and the annual Waimea Christmas Twilight Parade, which is always from 6-7 p.m. on the first Saturday of December.
