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!

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.

Big Mahalo to Krista Jaspers and Team!
Nice conditions but per usual there were a lot of fishermen with live lines that got very agitated if we got close to shore. We stayed on the outskirts and picked up a ton of homemade lead, slide bait tackle and hooks.
