Required Personnel and Time Requirement CCH is planning on organizing ten workdays,and counts on about ten volunteers to come to its work days. This is the number that commonly comes to CCH work days on its properties. From this number of people 4 or 5 teams can be assembled that can operate independently in the same overall area. The source of the volunteers will include CCH,Hawaii Grotto,and local civic association members, as well as interested people from other non-profit organizations. Contact will be made with other 501(c)3 organizations to determine if additional volunteers can be invited, (The volunteer contribution below is calculated based on the based on a 6-hr workday and$24.00/hr(based on 2017`s rate for Hawai'i volunteers from independentsector.org). A minimum often workdays is planned,and work will be done on Saturdays. How much acreage can be cleared depends on several factors: a)how rough the land surface is; b)the density of the invasive plants, and c)the number of teams fielded during the work days. CCH plans to clear at least the first 100 acre target. Equipment Required The PROJECT BUDGET also lists the insurance and equipment,as well as the cost estimates for these.
