SUMMARY:Bat Week!
DESCRIPTION:Bat Week is an annual international celebration held from October 24 to 31\, dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of bats and the need to protect them. In Hawaiʻi\, our only native land mammal is the ʻōpeʻapeʻa\, the Hawaiian hoary bat. This adorable bat is our official state land mammal and is an important part of our native forest ecosystems. Learn more on our ʻŌpeʻapeʻa profile page\, where you can download headband craft activity\, see photos and videos of ʻōpeʻapeʻa\, and learn how to help conservationists monitor bat populations by recording your observations on iNaturalist.

SUMMARY:Native Plant Watering: Aloha Tree Alliance
DESCRIPTION:This event is from a partner in the Year of Our Community Forests \nVolunteer at Kuli’ou’ou Ridge Trail \nJoin us to protect a place that is rich in beauty\, native species\, and cultural history! \nOnce beloved for its native trees\, shrubs\, plants\, birds and snails\, the Kuli‘ou‘ou Ridge Trail is in desperate need for restoration. Today\, due to overuse and misuse\, the meager remaining native forests struggle to survive against erosion from shortcuts\, aggressive invasive species\, and droughts. Downstream\, the runoff from degraded forests kills coral and pollutes Maunalua Bay. Restoring Kuli‘ou‘ou Ridge Trail and the surrounding forest is a massive undertaking\, but it is necessary for the health of our community\, native forest ecosystems\, and the ocean. \nPlease join us in our efforts to restore this native forest. Youʻll learn how to remove invasive species\, plant native plants and become a steward of the ʻāina. Check out our volunteer opportunities below! \nCommunity Tree Planting  \n\nHeld on the third Saturday of each month from 8-11:30am.\nActivities include:\n\nremoving invasive species\ndigging holes\nplanting native trees\nwatering restoration areas and carrying gallons of water\ncreating natural barriers to block shortcuts\n\n\nTree planting will occur during Hawaii’s rainy season (October – April). During the off season\, ATA switches its focus to maintenance.\n\nAloha Friday  \n\nVolunteer to help water keiki native trees and shrubs.\nActivities include hiking up to 1 mile over uneven terrain with up to 2\, 1 gallon jugs. Each jug is around 8lbs. \nPlease bring a backpack\, drinking water and good hiking shoes.\n\nVisit the ATA website for more details: Get Involved – Aloha Tree Alliance

SUMMARY:Ipu o Lono: Kokua Kalihi Valley Comprehensive Family Services
DESCRIPTION:This event is from a partner with the Year of Our Community Forests: \nThe image of a calabash full of food is our ancestral image of abundance. Our kūpuna knew and celebrated the importance of food. Ipu-o-Lono workdays continue this ancestral celebration. Work with our Mahi ʻĀina staff in the garden to feed our community. Help and learn to care for space and soil – feeding\, amending\, and shaping garden beds as well as pulling weeds and feeding compost piles. We will also need help prepping the harvest to be delivered to our community\, which entails washing\, cleaning\, and bagging vegetables. Expect to get dirty\, sweaty\, and wet – an essential part of creating abundance! Register below on our community workday registration. \n*Every FRIDAY\n9am – 12pm Hawaiʻi Standard Time\nCoordinator: Mahi ʻĀina Staff\nNumber of Volunteers: 15
