| Community members of all ages are invited to join in our 2024 Hoaʻāina Stewardship Experiences! Registration is now open for our next Hoaʻāina Stewardship Day on Saturday, September 21 at the Koaiʻa Corridor, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
These guided, half-day learning journeys are designed to deepen our pilina (relationships) with Kohala’s natural and cultural landscape, create space for meaningful exchanges between place and people, and share in mālama ʻāina (care for the land) in this moku we call home.
This Hoaʻāina Stewardship Day will take place at Koaiʻa Corridor located near Puʻukawaiwai on Kohala Mountain Road. The day will include an introduction to each other and ʻāina, a hike up the corridor, engaging in the traditional practice of kilo, as well as clearing and mulching some of our outplantings. PLEASE NOTE: participants will need to hike about 5/8ths of a mile uphill to get to the worksite; this event is best suited for guests in good hiking condition.
To make this event safe for all, we are limiting space to no more than 20 participants. Details on where to meet and what to bring will be provided in the days leading up to the event. For more information, please contact Mia Akau-LaClair at makaulaclair@kohalacenter.org or 808-887-6411. |
