About the event
About: Kawainui is the second largest historical fishpond in Hawaiʻi and a protected wetland that provides habitat to native waterbirds, including the endangered aeʻo, ʻalaeʻula, ʻalae keʻokeʻo and kōloa maoli.
This restoration event will involve weeding and planting native species. We may use tools like pick axes, sickles, shovels, and hand saws. Come prepared to get muddy!
Parking: Meet at the DLNR the parking lot on the makai (ocean) corner of Kapaʻa Quarry Road, 200 ft. after the turn off of Kalanianaʻole Hwy. There is a large yellow gate and grass parking lot; please do not drive further up the road.
Restrooms: The closest bathroom is at Le Jardin Academy across the street, or a nearby bush of your choice. If you choose a bush, be prepared to pack out any waste and rubbish.
