April 11, 2015—Our work for this day will be varied. In the morning, we will be installing new steps along the entrance to the Sanctuary, removing invasive fountain grass, and collecting native seeds. After lunch, we will enjoy the abundant native flowers that are in bloom, and enjoy a talk story and sketching time with our resident volunteer artist, Susan Mitnik. She suggests you bring along a sketch book, pens, pencils, and watercolor pencils. If you aren’t the artistic type, no problem! We will have enough work to keep us busy all day.

We will meet at The Kohala Center office at 8:30 a.m., and after a brief orientation we will carpool to the work site. Be prepared for a variety of weather: from chilly, windy, and rainy, to blazing sunshine (…also known as usual Kohala weather—a little of each!). Wear long pants and sturdy shoes or boots, and bring lunch and a water bottle in a backpack. Experienced volunteers suggest long sleeves for protection from the elements.
