Keauhou Bird Conservation Center day! Iwikauikaua met us and brought us into the center. There was an elementary group there also, and we got to hear them ask for permission to enter the land.
After lunch, we planted 4 year old Metrosideros polymorpha to help restore cattle land to natural land. This is "my" tree that I planted. I sent a lot if positive thoughts so that it would grow big and strong. This was a group effort. I had two studetns helping me dig a hole in the ground. The ground was tough and there were some pieces of Lava along the way.
Here is our group after the planting. A lot if hard work but always worth it. It feels good to give back to the land and community. I would really like to see the hillside where we replanted native plants last year. Iwikau is supposed to send a picture.
Iwikauikaua was given a present from Texas....a little piece if Texas left in Hawaii. Such a wonderful person that we get to encounter in Hawaii!!
A little art on the back of the van. Team Dojet. Apparently, this is my alter ego...
