Ka'ena Dune Restoration

Spent the morning with a group of 8th graders from Punahou who have been working on a project to restore one of the dune systems at Ka'ena. Last year the students took care of the seedlings with the knowledge that they would be planted out at Ka'ena. This year, about 100 8th graders have come out to plant the young naupaka on the parts of the dune that have eroded due to off-road vehicles.

Please help us to malama these new plantings - keep vehicles off the dune systems at Ka'ena, and provide water to them if you can! If there is one thing we can learn from these students, it is that we have a responsibility to future generations to make sure to malama aina and malama i ke kai.

Video footage from today will be airing on Olelo soon! I will make sure to post more information as it becomes available.

Mahalo nui loa to the students and faculty who have volunteered their time to protect this special place!
