Resurrection


I'm off again for the weekend. Hoppy Easter.



Last Monday we went on a hike to an area where this maile grows. Sadly, not nearly as much as it used to, mainly due to goats. We've fenced goats out of three areas where three endangered Hawaiian plants plus koa, maile and other plants are coming back well now. Monday we inspected the exclosures, took out some African fern and Clidemia, and made plans for creating a goat trap (corral) and a fenceline that will protect the entire ridge and valley and allow the native plants to thrive again, which we can see they will.

Maile lau li'i o Ko'iahi.
Fine-leaved maile of Ko'iahi.
Often used in chants. The fine-leaved maile of Ko'iahi, in Wai'anae, was considered the best on O'ahu for beauty and frangrance. After the introduction of goats this beautiful and much liked vine vanished.
- 'Olelo No'eau (2075)
