KWP Neighborhood Kōkua Day

February 15, 2015 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm

- Free

February 15, 2015—Kaʻahahui ‘O Ka Nāhelehele is a local non-profit that is working with the County Parks and Recreation Department and Kohala Watershed Partnership/The Kohala Center, with funding from the DLNR Kaulunani grant program to develop a park on the strip of county land along Keanuʻiʻomanō Stream, right across Kawaihae Road from Kamuela View Estates. This park is being developed as a passive nature park for the community, and the first step is cutting back some of the non-native vegetation and planting native trees. Future plans include stream monitoring, development of a walking path and picnic area, stabilizing and rehabilitating the stream banks, and planting native gardens.

We will start the day with a chant and blessing of the site, then volunteers from the Waimea area and the Kamuela View Estates neighborhood are invited to see the plans for the park, take a tour of the site, and kōkua by spreading mulch and planting native trees. Tools, gloves, plants, snacks, drinks, and educational materials will be provided by Kaʻahahui ‘O Ka Nāhelehele and Kohala Watershed Partnership.

There is not much room for vehicles at the site, so KWP staff and volunteers will carpool from our office. Meet at 11 a.m. at The Kohala Center; bring a lunch and a water bottle, and dress for Waimea weather. We will return to the office shortly after 4 p.m.
