April 11, 2015—Our work for this day will be varied. In the morning, we will be installing the 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.

April 25, 2015—Join us as we continue a six-year tradition of planting native trees in honor of Earth Day. This year, we will be planting the foundational tree of the wet forest of Kohala: ʻōhiʻa lehua. These trees were grown from seed collected right in our own backyard by KWP partners, staff, and volunteers, and now is our opportunity to return them “back home” to reforest the leeward slopes of Kohala Mountain.
