OISC volunteer opportunities

Aloha OISC Volunteers!

Here are the details for the next OISC worktrip. Please contact Julia Parish at oisc@hawaii.edu or 286-4616 for information.

When: Saturday, May 10th, 8:00 am - 3:00 pm

What: : OISC will be heading to Kaala Learning Center in Waianae to help restore loi and lowland dry forest by weeding and planting. Please join us on this unique volunteer trip to learn more about the various community projects of Kaala Farms, Inc. The Kaala learning center is nestled in the back of Waianae valley, with beautiful mountain and ocean views, and is an important location of education about Hawaiian culture, land practices, and ecology. It will be a long day because of the distance to the location, but will be well worth it!

What to bring: Take along more water than you think you will need--at least 2 quarts. Please bring gloves, sunhat, sunscreen, rain jacket, long pants, long sleeves, and sturdy walking shoes. No slippers allowed. Pack a good hearty lunch because we will be working hard!

Where to meet: Meet at the Church of the Crossroads parking lot. Going mauka on University Avenue, take your first left after the King/University intersection onto Coyne St. Then take your first right onto Kaialiu Street. The parking lot is located on the right, just after the road curves.

Please RSVP by Thursday, May 8th to Julia Parish at oisc@hawaii.edu or 286-4616.

All participants will be required to sign a waiver.

Thank you as always for helping us protect Oahu from invasive species!
