Aloha mai,
Here are a few pictures from this la kuokoa day today. We finished clearing the mala wauke spot and filling this loi with huli. We got a laau kukahi moon, usually not good for planting fruit or seed bearing plants, but was our first time returning huli back to this loi so we thought was kupono. We will monitor throughout the year and see how fruitful it was.  Yesterday was kulu, and was the first time I ever seen alae ula in Kukanono, running and swimming around in our lowest loi and "bird pond". We heard them again today, but unfortunately I couldnt get a picture. 
​Ke aloha,
Kaleo

Aloha mai,
Here is a short video of the kupu gang working at Ulupo today harvesting uala. What turned into a giant ball of lau started off as the patch of uala. 
​Ke aloha,

Kaleo Wong: in the last six months, heʻs worked with more than 500 students and volunteers. But sometimes he just goes it alone.

Aloha kakahiaka,
Keli‘i asked if I could fwd this email to you and ask if HMI, Hika‘alani, or individual members wanted to help close the last remaining puka in the fishpond wall. I have been going there when they have been doing the night work, cause not only are we helping with the restoration of Heeia, the ike and the relationship building will help with the restoration of our kuauna loi at Ulupo and who knows, maybe even Ulupo itself. 
Ke aloha,
Kaleo Wong
