Yes Futures

One of our team's action plans to create a sustainable future at the personal level was to go out and help out plant native trees in Pahole Forest. For our action, we also surveyed land plots for the presence of native or non-native plant species while also laying various picture-wing fly traps, as well as tracker traps. In addition to collecting this data and planting native trees in the area (Ohia Lehua) our group also spent two hours cutting down Strawberry Guava and poisoning the stems with an eco-friendly pesticide.  We also helped the entire ahupua'a because without the native species in the area, the forest wouldn't continue to soak up all the water and would casue mud to flow down to the reefs and sufficate and destroy the reef habitat.
