Plant Pono!

Oct. 4, 2016

Contributed by Kristen Purdy

Papa Ekahi is learning about the ʻaina through planting.  Leeward Haleakalā Watershed Restoration Partnership visited our keiki and showed them how they can kokua to impact our forest on Maui.  One way they can help restore dryland forest is to grow native plants and food plants.

 Students participated in making seed balls that will be used to reforest the Nuʻu and Kahikinui areas.  The seed balls included ʻaʻaliʻi and ʻaweoweo seeds which will be dropped from a helicopter.  Mahalo to Mr. Stenger, Andrea, Kealii and Christian for an engaging hands on activity that will help restore and preserve our ʻaina.
