Description of Outreach Opportunity
This project began in 2012 as a two year restoration & grant partnership between Kualoa Ranch and Hui o Koʻolaupoko. Although the grant period has ended, maintenance and continued outplanting of the project is critical to its success. Over the past four years, more than 3500 volunteers have lent a helping hand at this site!
The project involves the removal of invasive plant species along the stream corridor, replanting with native species and installation of ungulate enclosure fencing to protect mauka spring areas. The goals of the project include reducing sediment entering Hakipuʻu Stream and Kāneʻohe Bay and increasing habitat for native aquatic species such as ʻōpae kalaʻole and ʻoʻopu.
Volunteers will be involved in clearing invasive plant species from the semi-remote mauka spring and stream area using hand-tools and hand pulling small weeds as well as planting native species and maintaining a small lo'i within the project.
Hakipu'u work days for 2016 will be held on the 4th Saturday of each month from 9am-12pm:
Our community workdays and volunteer events happen rain or shine! In the rare event that we would need to cancel a workday due to unsafe weather conditions, we will update our Facebook Page with the event status no later than one hour prior the scheduled start time and make every effort to contact registered participants via e-mail.
Feel free to call or e-mail me if you have any additional questions. HOK offers a variety of events each month, the best way to see what events we have coming up and which would be the best fit for you is by visiting the Get Involved page on our website and signing up to receive our monthly newsletter.
