Mahalo to our awesome team for their service today. Following the recent weather, we took a site visit to see how things were holding up. Glad to say no large trees branches broke. We did see that several of our smaller plants took some damage but are confident that they will bounce back.

Big Mahalo to today's tremendous team. Thankfully no rain this afternoon but the cool and blustery weather made today's work all the more comfortable. We focused on an area adjacent to new outplantings. We extended the open space and found some young ʻilima and uhaloa, preserving them to grow...

Big Mahalo to today's stellar stewards! We had lots to do! Right off the bat we had helpers big and small weed out invasive plants, especially around the nice new native trees. Judi brought her string trimmer and Chris brought his classic mower. Both were used to great effect! An uptick...

It was a beautiful morning to be of service. We continue to strengthen our relationship to the inlet area and the many types of moods it has. We saw fish, sea cucumbers, birds, crabs, and so much more. We continue to work on a rock wall to ease the erosion of the hillside.

Happy Aloha Friday! Our small and mighty team tackled invasive Leonotis (lions tail) along the Ocean View hillside as this grows tall and seeds fast. Lots of native sprouts alongside which can now expand their space. Basket weaving team exercised their practice today as well. Mahalo Nui!

Mahalo nui to a great collective effort. Our regular awesome team of stewards started the day off with introductions to two new native species that were recently introduced and becoming acquainted with them. We did light weeding and watering to begin. We moved to the 2025 outplanting...
