Each year that we go to the Limahuli Gardens, we do a service project. This year is no different. We were first welcomed by a Oli (Hawaiian Chant to ask permission to come onto the land).
We then went around and said our names.
Dr. Winters welcomes us and talks about the Canoe Plants that were brought to Hawaii by the Polynesians.
We did a riparian (river and area) restoration effort today. We cleared out truckloads of invasive species growing in this area. I wish I had taken a before picture.
Here is an after shot. This was full of invasive species.
A little muddier, but we had a great day weeding. After our picture, we planted a few native plants in the upper area.
Here is my little plant.
A dip in the Limahuli river. It is so nice and refreshing down here. The water is so clear and cool. LOVE it!
