Q // I’d like to get involved in a hands-on reforestation project. Where would you recommend?

If you’re a¤er a more luxurious getaway, then set your sights on Hawaii. Last year, the state’s tourism authority launched its Malama Hawaii programme, where visitors earn various perks, including a free night of accommodation, in return for taking part in conservation schemes. Projects include the Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative, where guests can help to re-establish critical habitats and trees. gohawaii.com/malama
