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!
