December 20, 2014—Speaking for the KWP crew and volunteer team, sometimes we’re a bit confused about the difference between “work” and “play.” When it comes to certain kinds of “work” like hiking through the forest, planting native trees, controlling invasive species, and building things with rocks, we just seem to have a whole lot of fun!

This Saturday, we’re going to offer a job for everyone, as we go to work in the Koai‘a Tree Sanctuary:  planting, controlling weeds, and stabilizing the nature trail. Here’s the menu of work options:

• Nurturing – time to plant some baby mamane trees
• Destruction – vent any pent-up energy by attacking fountain grass
• Construction- trails along the stream need some banking & stabilization
• Creativity – design and construct stone steps on stream crossings
• Bring along your ‘ohana, visitors, neighbors, and friends for this fun day in the native koai‘a forest of Kohala!

Meet at The Kohala Center office at 8:30 am. Wear boots or sturdy shoes and long pants, and bring along a sack lunch & water bottle. Be prepared for sun, wind, and rain. We will provide plants, tools, gloves, and snacks. Don’t forget your Santa hat for the final group photo!! We will return to Waimea by 3:30.
