Hoa‘āina Stewardship Day
(Waimea, Hawai‘i Island)
The Kohala Center
65-1291A Kawaihae Rd, Kamuela, HI, United States
November 23, 2019—Journey with us into the Koai‘a Corridor at one or more of our Hoa‘āina Stewardship Days! These experiences are designed to deepen our kinship with Kohala and our watersheds, restoring our ability as a community to engage and build healthy relationships with our native environment once again. Depending on the environmental conditions of the day, we will learn protocols such as oli (chants) and pule (prayers, blessings) for entering sacred spaces and encouraging growth and resilience, remove invasive plants and weeds, plant native trees and shrubs, and nurture young trees to grow healthy and strong.
