Waihee Ridge Stewardship for National Trails Day

Volunteer

West Maui Mountains Watershed Partnership
Saturday, June 6, 2015 from 9:00am - 2:00pm
Waihee Ridge Trail

Aloha mai kakou!
In honor of National Trails Day, we invite you to join WMMWP for Volunteer Stewardship on the Waihe'e Ridge Trail.  We will combat invasive strawberry guava along the trail while talking story about the importance of a healthy watershed and fighting threats to our native rainforests.  Strawberry guava has been recognized as one of the worst weeds in Hawaii, and it has been encroaching up Waihee Ridge, choking out native forest plants in its path.  We seek your help to control this highly invasive species! 

Spots are limited, so kindly RSVP by Wednesday, June 3 via phone (808-661-6600) or email (outreach@westmauiwatershed.org).  Mahalo nui!

Date:  Saturday, June 6, 2015
Time: 9:00am to about 2:00pm
Location: Waihee Ridge Trail (meet at the gravel parking lot outside Camp Maluhia)

What to Expect: We will hike about half way up the trail (about 1-1.5 miles) to the control site.  Work involve cutting smaller diameter trees and frilling larger ones with handsaws.  WMMWP crew will apply herbicide directly to the cut surfaces.

Bring: Water (2 liters), lunch and snacks, long-sleeve shirt, long pants, sturdy closed-toe shoes, poncho or rain coat, sun protection, backpack (tools and gloves provided by WMMWP)
