Invasive plants can quickly smother out the fragile akoko, so their removal is crucial in order for the akoko to survive.

Kaala Farm, Inc., welcomes various organizations and volunteers to assist in the floral restoration of five sites in west Oahu.

Thank you to all those who helped to make this trip a success.
