Kulani Forest Event – Friday August 22nd
On Friday the 22nd of August, some of HER crew, and all of HER board members, convened at a special 3,000ft elevation Kulani road native forest segment, a forest with remarkable intactness and biodiversity.
Some of us have been visiting this forest regularly over the past dozen years to soak in its beauty and support its resilience.
The main invasive species finding their way into the understory are the all too familiar clidemia and thimble berry, but with the thorned burden of Himalayan raspberry, a species we are so grateful not to encounter in Keau’ohahana forest.
In seeing the canopy open up due to recent storms and consequent effect of ROD, HER now entertains the thought of doing an annual effort there by a select number of plant lovers. We know all too well what lack of management looks like over time especially under such conditions, and hope to see this gem persist.
