OISC service project
8:00 am -
3:00 pm
Please join
OISC in removing invasive alien plants at the Kalihi Valley Nature Park.
Kokua Kalihi Valley is a community-organized and community-operated
non-profit organization that is creating a nature park on 100 acres of
public land. The project will include creation of as many as 20 acres of
community and native Hawaiian gardens, preserve and restore ancient
Hawaiian agricultural walls and terraces, and the creation of new
walking paths and hiking trails. Kokua Kalihi Valley’s goal for the park
is to create “a place of quiet recreation, nature studies, health
education, and the preservation of Hawaiian culture.” Our hope is to
help Kokua Kalihi Valley remove alien plant species to make room for
native species.
What to bring: Take along more water than you think you will need--at
least 2 quarts. Please bring gloves, sunhat, sunscreen, lunch, rain
jacket, long pants, long sleeves, and sturdy walking shoes. No slippers
allowed. Pack a hearty lunch and bring snacks because we will be working
hard!
Where to meet: Meet at the Church of the Crossroads parking lot. Going
mauka on University Avenue, take your first left after the
King/University intersection onto Coyne St. Then take your first right
onto Kaialiu Street. The parking lot is located on the right, just after
the road curves.
In order to join the work trip, please RSVP by Thursday, September 18th
to Julia Parish at oisc@hawaii.edu or 286-4616.
All participants will be required to sign a waiver.
Thank you as always for helping us protect O‘ahu from invasive species! |
