Mahalo to these awesome folks who dared the rains today to do some work. While I personally am not a big fantastic of working in rain for long periods of times, this group really pushed themselves. The rain is so needed, and it was light enough to still do meaningful work.

Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! Awesome progress made today digging out invasive species like buffelgrass. So great to find native plants already in here that will now have room to grow! We had a little bit of rain towards the end and we hope for a lot more in the weeks ahead. Mahalo Nui

Mahalo to our awesome team for the collective work today in Waimānalo. We focused our time on the increased micro plastics debris that are reaching higher onto the beach following this past high swell. I continued to gather data on the Pōhuehue seeds being impacted by the weevils.

Mahalo nui to our Saturday crew! It was a beautiful day out at Mauliola. We began with introductions and site history as always and it was great to see many new faces. People spread out across the park area searching the grass, rocks, and beach for litter and there was much to be found.

Happy Aloha Friday and Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! Lots of newcomers got a first time look at this park and just in time for the christmas tree lights 🎄 Many of the team went to work removing khaki grass from the lawn with others began new stone stairs at the base of the hill.

It was a hot one today! The crew started slowly and moved into buffel grass removal into the morning. Keeping previously cleared areas free of buffel grass is one of those really important tasks, as much as we want to push ahead, we cannot neglect these spaces that have been outplanted.

The night comes quickly now, and it was awesome to welcome it over us at Kaloko Inlet. We focused on removing buffel grass today followed by a visit around the site and sharing moʻolelo, oral history of the area and those who have found themselves within. Wonderful work gang!

Lead Weight (lbs): 14

A wonderful Tuesday this week of Thanksgiving! 🦃 We split into rubbish and invasive plants teams and everyone did solid work. Recent rains have woken native plant seeds and have given us a hint of what's to come in newly opened areas. Everyone had fun pulling out the koa haole roots as well.
