Professional Services
For those looking to hire, and for professionals with businesses.
CRB Action Kaua‘i promotes the responsible provision of services to protect the island’s palms and support Kaua‘i’s vulnerable ecosystem.
We are building a local list of trusted, vetted providers to help Kaua‘i residents make informed choices when seeking help to protect their palms.
We recognize that those working in the field—tree trimmers, arborists, landscapers, and treatment providers—are on the front lines of this effort. Their experience, skill, and day-to-day work make a real difference in addressing the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB) challenge.
