Fourth Saturdays Trail Projects' at Makiki Wai

March 26, 8:00am - 2:30pm
Mānoa Campus, 2135 Makiki Heights Drive

The Oahu Na Ala Hele Trails program is asking volunteers to come and help on a project called the Makiki Watershed Awareness Initiative (WAI).  The objective of the project is to restore a segment of the Makiki ahupua`a to a native Hawaiian forest and better functioning watershed. We will be removing invasives around the natives and replanting natives. We are doing this every fourth Saturday of the month. What to expect:   We work from 8:00am until 2:00pm. This month's focus will be: trail improvements and weeding around the native plants; getting ready for next month’s Earth Day project of replanting native trees and shrubs.  As usual, the work will most likely be hot, itchy and dirty...... but very rewarding! Why go to the gym? When you can come work with us. There are bathrooms and drinking water nearby.  Families are more than welcome but young children must be well supervised.    What to bring:  Long shirt and pants, mosquito spray, 2 Liters of water, lunch or a snack, gloves and sturdy shoes.    Where:  Meet at the Makiki Forestry Baseyard just above the new Hawaii Nature Center building. 2135 Makiki Heights Drive Baseyard. Press the button on the gate and proceed to the end of the road
