A few weeks ago I was part of a Maui Camera Club outing where we hadthe chance to participate and photorgraph the magnificent work thepeople of the Auwahi Dry Forest Reserve Reforestation Project are doing.
It is absolutely unreal. The Auwahi Dry Forest is one of Hawai’i’s most endangered areas. A very limited staff and agenerous group of volunteers have been joining efforts and working hardto recreate this dying paradise, and they are succeeding !!!
The last few surviving trees were not giving seeds so there was nonew generations coming. The cycle of life was interrupted. The wholeecosystem had to be recreated, from its very foundation, the soil. Theyseed grass that later turns into soil rich of nutrients. They removeall invasive species, animals are kept outside by a fence. And finallynative plants and trees are planted. Then Nature takes care of the rest.
Take a virtual tour of the reserve and hopefully you’ll feel motivated, contact the Leeward Haleakala Watershed Restoration Partnership and Maui Restoration Group, (808) 573-8989 by email to auwahi@yahoo.com
Big Mahalos to Diana, Erica, Keahi, Luke, Ka’ai, Fernando, Ainoa, Alesa, and Andrea for such a good job and excellent example.
By the way, planting a tree with your own hands is an experience on its own !!!
